 Right. Hello everyone. Today my topic is on how to cast out demons like Jesus. Demons are real and demon position is real. I believe you all agree with me. But the good news is that the Holy Spirit within you and I is the codification for deliverance ministry. When the Holy Spirit took residence in our heart, God gave us the power and the authority over demonic beings. Amen. And today I want to share about how to cast out demons like Jesus. But specifically I want to share how to live your life in such a way that God gives you the authority over demonic beings. And then our lifestyle is very important. So I just want to share about that. So, yes, the deliverance ministry of Jesus is the standard for is the standard. So when we look at the deliverance ministry of Jesus, you will notice that it was very simple. It was very straightforward and it was very powerful. His power over demonic spirit was very absolute. Jesus did not use any kind of superstitious rituals nor did he take around two or three hours to cast out one demonic spirit from a person. Amen. But, you know, he did it instantly. And Jesus is our example. So we need to follow the standard which Jesus said. So we need to live the kind of lifestyle that Jesus lived. So, in order to cast out demons just like Jesus, we need to learn the basic before the battle. We need to be prepared with the basic before we go to expose the demonic beings like the soldiers, you know, they go through intense training before the battle. And even the people who are competing in the Olympics, they go through a lot of training before the Olympics began. So, likewise, we are in the battlefield and we need to train ourselves in such a way that we prepare ourselves for the battle. And then, you know, like just like sandcastle under the waves of the ocean, the demonic power will dissolve under the power of the Holy Spirit. And God has given us that authority. So I just want to share what are the basic keys. The first one I want to talk about is we need to spend time in the presence of God. We see in Acts chapter 4 verse 13 it says, you know, the member of the councils were enmeshed when they saw the bonus of Peter and John. For they concede they were ordinary men with no special training in the scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. So the people recognized that Peter and John, they were just ordinary people, but they noticed that they were with Jesus. So, and also in Mark chapter 9, when we read the story, you know, like Peter and John, they were in the mountaintop with Jesus and the other disciples, they were in the valley. You know, and only when Jesus came to the valley, you know, he expelled the demonic spirit from the boy. The disciples who were in the valley, they were not able to expel the demonic spirit from that boy. So as a Christian, we need to be in the mountain with Jesus. We need to be in the presence of God. And we need to spend time in the presence of God if we want to cast out demons. Amen. And the second point I want to mention is, you know, we should know the word. Mark chapter 1, verse 21 to 27, like I just want to go to verse 25 it says, But Jesus became saying, be quiet and come out of him. And verse 26 says, when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. So, you know, in this scripture, we notice here that it was very simple. You know, Jesus did a very simple delivering session. Jesus said to the demonic spirit, be quiet and come out. So the demonic spirit obeyed him and the demonic spirit came out of the person. So we need to live in the world and be in the world just like Jesus. And if we do that, God will give us the authority and we should know who we are in Christ, our authority in Christ. Like I can relate to the situation because, you know, like when, like first I begin the ministry, you know, I joined the ministry. I was, you know, not experienced in the world, but the ministry where I joined was like it was a new church and there were less people. So it happened in our, there was a big conference and there were a lot of people being delivered. You know, there were demon poses and also there were satanic worshipers, you know. So, like, I was just assisting one of the leaders, you know, like, and in that deliverance session, it so happened that, you know, that it was a, she was a teenager, a girl. So she was manifesting. And the moment she saw me, you know, like she said, I don't hear you. And, you know, like as I was young, I was inexperienced means I'm knowingly fear entered my heart. And it really, you know, I became so fearful. But, you know, I just did not tell anyone like I was just, you know, the enemy was trying to deceive me, but I did not realize. But through those encounters, I learned that, you know, I need to be full of the word of God. I need to be in the presence of God. And now that as I know the truth, the truth has really set me free. And with that bonus, I can say that, you know, I'm not afraid of any kind of demonic spirit. But as God has given me that authority, you know, I can cause a demon like just like Jesus, because he's, he's the source of true power and authority. And the third point I want to mention is we need to walk in humility. We can see in James chapter four verse one, it says, therefore, submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. So before you can resist the devil, we need to humble ourselves because God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. So we need to humble ourselves. We need to, you know, discipline ourselves, humble ourselves. And we should be like Jesus, because he is our example. Jesus' power over the forces of darkness was very evident and he walked in authority. So as we humble ourselves, you know, like we don't need to take two, three hours to cause the demons, but it will just flow naturally. Just like as Jesus spoke the word of God, you know, we can do it because Jesus is our example. And Paul also said we need to imitate him because as he imitated Jesus Christ. And the fourth key I want to mention is about we need to walk in holiness. We can see in Acts chapter nine verse 14 to 16, here we can see the story of the seven sons of Sceva. You know, like they were trying to cause the demons, but instead they were beaten black and blue by the demonic spirit, you know. So what I want to say is that we need to walk in holiness. You know, if we don't have the right relationship with God, you as a believer, we have weakened our access to the authority of heaven. So just like this seven son of Sceva, they did not have any kind of relationship. They know the name of Jesus, you know, but they did not know that they need to, you know, walk with him intimately. And they were just using the name of Jesus for the sake of using the name. So if we do that as a believer, there is no power, there is no authority. Amen. So we need to have intimate relationship and we need to walk in holiness. We need to do away with any kind of sins, secret sins. We need to be transparent in the presence of God. We need to be, you know, holy. And as we do that, the Holy Spirit will enable us and empower us. And, you know, we will know our authority in Christ and we will be able to cause the demons just like Jesus. So in conclusion, I just want to say that God is not looking for perfection, you know, because we as human beings, we are not perfect. But what we need to do as a believer is that we need to know the truth, the fundamental truth of the basic keys, which will enable us and empower us to do deliverance just like Jesus. So I just want to summarize everything. So the first key is that we need to spend time in the presence of God. And the second key is that, yes, thank you, Pastor. We should know the word of God. And the third key is we need to walk in humility. And the fourth key is we need to walk in holiness. If we do these basic things at times, you know, like it may be very boring, but if we apply these things, these basic keys, it will really empower us to cause demonic spirit just like Jesus. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you very, very. Yeah, just one thing what happened was, yeah, we can see your screen now. I think you should stop sharing. Yeah, okay. So just the thing is that, okay, we one second, sorry. Yeah, we couldn't see you actually. We saw your screen, but we couldn't see you. That is the only thing anyway. Okay, so next. Because it's your phone. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I just want to say, I think it's because of my phone, you know. Yeah, yeah. Okay, no problem. Okay, so next we have, thank you. That was good. Thank you for sharing. Next, we have, okay, Rosalind to share. Okay, Rosalind, if you want to get ready, set things up, you can do that now. Yeah, Pastor, but I'm not presenting. Okay. Yeah, okay, sure. Okay, hello everyone. So the topic that I have chosen for today is fear and my title is perfect love cast out fear. So let's read the scripture. It's from one John 418 which says there is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out fear. So let's see what fear is not first. So fear is not God given. Fear is not designed by God and fear is definitely not how the way God operates. So if I reverse this and so I get Satan is the one who gives fear. Satan is the one who operates in fear and Satan is the one who has designed this fear. So having said this, there are three fears that I have listed which is very common and they are like fear of isolation, fear of rejection and fear of death. Like these are very common and we see everyone going through this, going through a struggle in their lives with this fears and the fear in itself is a very strong emotion. And if we do not tackle fear in time, it can torment us and it can destroy the plan of God in our lives. It can terminate our destination in God. It's very important that we deal with our fears through the word of God. And let me tell you, the devil is working very hard at it. He doesn't want the believers to fulfill God's call upon their lives. He doesn't want the believers to move or to flow in the gifts to flow in the plan of God. So the devil is trying his best to terminate the plan of God by infusing fear in an individual's life. We read scripture 2 Timothy 1-7. I'll read it for us. It says, for God has not given us the spirit of fear. So this clearly shows, this clearly means that fear is a spirit. And because it is a spirit, it can enter. So how will it enter? It can enter with a small thought that we entertain with our fear, like any fear that we are fearful of, say like fear of rejection. When we meditated on that fear with one small thought, that thought will open the doors for the devil to enter in our life, in our minds, in our thoughts. And it will destroy our call. It will destroy the plans of God for our lives. And we also, if I break this word, fear, like we all know this, it says like, you know, false evidence appear real. So, which means fear is nothing but bundle of lies. It is the lie from the devil who is the father of all lies. And Romans 8.15 says, you have not received a spirit which makes you fearful slaves. It means the spirit of fear can make you a slave of it. So if you are, if you are fearless, you can achieve great things for God. You can do the impossible, but if you give in to fear, so that fear will make you its slave. Okay, so let's, we know this story which is mentioned in Matthew chapter 14 about Peter walking on water. You know, when he sees Jesus walking on the water, he, you know, he expresses his desire of, you know, walking on the water. And Jesus asked him to come. So he steps out of the boat. He walks few steps, but then in chapter 14 verse 29 and 30. If we read there, we see, we see that in some translations it is written, when Peter saw the wind and heard the waves, you know, that made him to fall because he fell down. He was drowning in the water. So few minutes, few seconds back, what we saw was him walking on the water, which is a supernatural act. It is a supernatural act walking on the water. It is like an impossible thing to do. But then he was able to do as long as his eyes were fixed on Jesus. But then when he was fearful of the surroundings, he fell down. He was drowning. So fear can stop the supernatural flow in our lives. Okay. So we need to be very careful in what we hear and what we see. You know, that can be the door for the devil to enter to infuse fear in our lives and keep us away from fulfilling God's call. So how to defeat this fear? We know that fear is a spirit. It can enter. It enters through a thought. And when it enters, it makes us its slave. And it stops all the supernatural things, all the supernatural flows that is to happen in our lives. This fear will put a stop to all the supernatural things. Supernatural flow in our lives. So, but how can we defeat this fear? Two things I would like to mention here. Like, first is we should know that God is with us. Isaiah 41. 10 says, do not be afraid for I am with you. So as an individual, as a believer, as a person, as a child of God, as people of God, if we only know this, that God is with me. Emmanuel God is with me. He's with us. You know, and when we say this out loud, whenever we are in, whenever we are going through that fear stage or whenever we come, we are encountered or we confront any fear, you know, that is the moment when we have to say that God is with me. God is with us. You know, when he is with us and when we know that he is with us and not only knowing that he is with us, you know, even that will not be enough. But we need to say that to ourselves. We need to say it out loud. You know, whenever we are like, there's no, there's nothing wrong in being fearful. But we can avoid fearing when we say the word of God. When we say it out loud, that will help us, you know, to keep the fear away. So first is we need to confess and we need to, when we need to know, we need to believe that God is with us, no matter what. We see in Psalms 23, David says that even though I walk through the valleys of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil. So he is making an open declaration that I will fear no evil. Fear is there, but I will fear no evil. And the second thing is, we see Paul encouraging the church in Ephesians, in Ephesians he is saying in chapter 3 verse 18, he expresses his desire for the church, for the people in the Ephesus church, he expresses his desire that he wants them to be rooted and grounded in the love of God. He wants them to know the love of God, the love of God, its height and length and breadth. He wants the church to know the love of God, which passes knowledge. So knowing that God loves you, that is my, the, the scriptural verse that I have taken 1st John 4.18, that knowing that God loves you, we know that we love God and we are very happy about it, that we love God. We should also know that our love for God is not faithful, it is not faithful. You know, sometimes we will do things that will not please God, that is displeasing to God, sometimes we do things. So our love may, you know, change. It's not faithful love, but we should know God's love. When we know God's love, it is unconditional love, it is agape love, it is faithfulness. He is faithful towards us in his love. So when we know that God loves us and when we believe this, when we out loud that, yes, God loves me no matter what, God loves me and he is able to deliver me from this fear that I'm facing. So but how will this happen? When you will seek Him, when you will go in His presence, when you will seek the face of God, when you will spend time in His presence, when you will get yourself filled with His love, that is the moment when you're filled with God's love, you can keep the fears away from you. And so, first, John 4.18, it says that, you know, God's love is perfect and this perfect love can cast all the fear from our lives. Thank you, God bless you. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you. Thank you, Rosalind. That was good. So I think that's all the time we have for today. That was good. Everyone, John, Zeritoli, Rosalind, thanks for presenting. That was good. Some good thoughts that you had presented. Very nice. Yeah, okay. Isaac has a question. So you can present from your phone, Isaac, that's not a problem. I'm just trying to see if somebody is speaking, if I can actually do the PowerPoint. I think that should be possible. I'll try that out. So if in any case, what you can do, Isaac, is maybe you can put it on the stream. If you have a presentation, you can put it on the stream and also those who have already done the presentation today, please share your outline on the stream. Please upload your outline on the stream. I think you know what to do, how to do that. So you just upload your outline, sermon outline on the stream and your presentation like Zeritoli and John Paul, you have the presentation, you can upload it. Okay, others and also yeah, if you have the presentation, but you just have your phone, so that way we can actually see if someone else can present. We'll just see if someone else can do that and that way I think you can just keep talking and then someone else can move the PowerPoint. I hope that helps. Okay, so we will meet again in our next class and then continue with the rest of the presentations. Please check the stream for the list of people who are going to be presenting next class. Okay, and Lyndon, we'll see probably, we'll just see after the schedule presentations are over, you can be ready for presenting next class and maybe we can just do an extra 12 minutes after we finish and then go into your presentation as well. Okay, thank you so much everyone. John, I'm sorry we missed recording your presentation. Okay, see you guys, bye bye. God bless.
