 Hello, this is David Diger Hernandez, and you are watching Spirit Church here on the Encounter TV Network. The Holy Spirit within you is your qualification for ministry. When the Holy Spirit took up residence in your being, God gave to you power and authority over demonic beings. I want to teach you how to cast out demons and set the demon-possessed free. That's what I'm going to be talking about right now, but first Stephen Maktuzuma is going to lead you in some very anointed worship, and then we're going to get right into this message here is Stephen Maktuzuma. Let me be to you a sacrifice Lord, you have my heart And I will search for yours Jesus take my life and leave Lord, you have my heart And I will search for yours Let me be to you a sacrifice And I will pray And I will sing of love come down Who shall we see Your love come down Who shall we see Well, as you can probably tell this isn't the normal set for Spirit Church and over the next few weeks You're going to be seeing different setups as we transition to the new and final location For this season of our ministry We are almost done with constructing the new television set But in the meantime as I said you're going to be seeing different sets in front of you Don't get used to any of them. I will tell you when we're on the new set. I promise So I'm talking to you about how to cast out demonic powers Now you've often heard it said that you have authority over demonic beings I taught over the past couple of weeks about signs of demonic possession But now I want to teach you how you can cast them out And really there is no how to when it comes to the very specific application of laying hands on someone who is possessed by a demonic spirit Really what I'm talking about here is how to live such a life that gives you authority over demonic beings. You see There is no ritual that you have to apply to cast out demons There is no special prayer that you can pray that will cause them to leave someone if there were a special prayer If there were a ritual then the power would be in that ritual the power would be in that prayer Rather than in the power of the Holy Spirit But you and I both know that the power to drive out demonic forces comes from the Holy Spirit himself Living within you now How do you live in such a way that that authority that power? Manifests causing the demonic the demonically oppressed to go free when you come near them when you lay hands on them when you drive out that demonic beam Well, the key really is time in God's presence And I'm gonna talk about that for a moment, but I want to share with you this story to illustrate the power of what I'm talking about I Was ministering in the east coast and this was a conference that I was speaking at with nothing But just a bunch of youth and young adults. It was a powerful time in God's presence People had come from all over the east coast to be in this meeting and I was ministering. I forget the message even to this day I believe on being light in a dark world But during my message I began to sense this stirring in the spirit the atmosphere began to shift and Toward the end of the service all of a sudden out of nowhere this girl Begins to scream and growl and cuss and contort She was shaking under the power of God I knew immediately that it was a demonic power inside of her So she begins to manifest and the usher's come forward and they say we have to remove her from the service She's a distraction as they're dragging her out of the service the Holy Spirit quickened me He said call that girl forward. I want to make a demonstration of my power So I said call her forward bring her up here to the front and the ushers start Pooling her to the front of the building and the whole time. She's fighting them. She's kicking her She's trying to stop the movement with her feet She didn't want to get anywhere near me. And so finally she's standing just a few feet in front of me She's looking at me. She's cussing at me. She's cursing me. Her body is just shaking. She's her face is contorting Just as I go to lay hands on her someone else in the crowd begins to manifest someone else who was possessed by a demonic being so I said bring that person up to and as they're dragging that person up another person begins to manifest and Then another person begins to manifest and another person begins to manifest Until there are about a dozen demon possessed people standing in a line all of them screaming many of them cussing All of them contorting their faces looking at me with rage and hatred in their eyes I've cast out demons out of for many people and many of them have told me that while I was praying for them They felt this hatred in their hearts toward me and they wanted to kill me So knowing that I'm looking at this crowd of people. I can see That there is this demonic hatred on their faces and I can feel that demonic influence on their bodies And so I just prayed a simple prayer. The Lord told me just pray a simple prayer It's how I was led in the moment. I said in the name of Jesus and the moment I spoke the name of Jesus. In fact before I could even finish Pronouncing the name of Jesus. I said the first syllable I said in the name of G and as soon as I got that first syllable out all of those who were up at the front for deliverance fell out under the power of God and They began to twist on the ground like snakes and they all screened I said in the name of Jesus and I prayed a simple prayer of deliverance. It was something like I command you to let them go and All of them at the same time Every single one of them were delivered They all stood up and instead of screaming Instead of yelling instead of their faces contorting instead of them slithering on the ground like snakes. They stood many of them with tears streaming down their faces and They lifted their hands and they began to worship God. They were set free in an instant My friend, that's how Jesus did it It doesn't take a long ritualistic prayer to cast the demon out You don't have to go back seven generations this way seven generations that way You don't have to interview the demon. How did you get in? What was your door that was open? How did you come to have influence over this person? What is your name? You simply have to speak with power and authority come out in the name of Jesus and that demonic being has to go That's how Jesus did it. That's how we are to command the forces of darkness. No, there is no process to it I know you've heard otherwise, but we have to look to the word There was only one instance that I I've seen Where Jesus asked the demons name and that was the man with the legion of demons in him But then he cast them out in an instant, too. There was no process. There was no fighting There was no generational curse to break many people asked me do you believe in generational curses? You see the moment you get saved every curse is broken Even if it's generational when I'm bought by the blood of Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit There is no curse that can take hold of my life. And so This is the type of influence and power God wants to give to us Acts chapter 4 verse 13 says The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John For they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the scriptures They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus Peter and John had no special training in scriptures. They had never gone to seminary. They had never received anything that we would deem as an education when it came to the bible But they had one thing better And that was the fact that they had been with Jesus now. I'm not against bible school My point is simple there is power when you spend time in the presence of God The more time that you spend in the presence of the Holy Spirit The greater the manifestation of power will come through your life The greater the amount of time in the presence The greater the intensity of the power upon you The key to the power of the Holy Spirit Is walking in the presence of the Holy Spirit now Acts chapter 19 verses 13 through 16 say A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation saying I command you in the name of Jesus Whom Paul preaches to come out Seven sons of schiva leading priests were doing this But one time when they tried it the evil spirit replied I know Jesus and I know paul But who are you then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them Overpowered them and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house naked and battered Not only were these men embarrassed, but they were overpowered by this demonic being the demonic being made a show of them Why because they didn't know Jesus for themselves. There was no personal relationship They did not spend time in the presence of Jesus In mark chapter 9 verses 2 through 12 We see a powerful story about the transfiguration of Jesus Now i'll read a little bit of the the portion of scripture to you the scripture says six days later Jesus took peter james and john and led them up a high mountain to be alone As the men watched Jesus's appearance was transformed And his clothes became dazzling white far wider than any earthly bleach could ever make them Then elisha and moses appeared and began talking with jesus. So here we see That peter james and john go to the mountain top with jesus Now jesus was glowing with the glory when they come down from the mountain skip ahead now to verse 14 when they come down to the mountain This is what happens verse 14 says when they return to the other Disciples They saw a large crowd surrounding them and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them When the crowd saw jesus they were overwhelmed with awe and they ran to greet him Now why was the crowd overwhelmed with awe? I believe it's because jesus was still glowing from the glory of the transfiguration experience He came off of the mountain top from a heavenly experience from an open heaven And he comes down from the mountain to find that his disciples are with the Pharisees arguing And he comes in he's still glowing from the glowing from the glory of god The crowd looks at him And they stand in awe they can see the very glory of god on him now One of the men in the crowd spoke up Teacher I brought my son so you could heal him He is possessed by an evil spirit that won't let him talk And whenever this spirit seizes him it throws him violently to the ground Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit But they couldn't do it Now here's the interesting thing This wasn't all the disciples that were there that were trying to cast out demons remember peter james and john Were there at the mountain top with jesus? Why is it that jesus was able to cast out this spirit as you'll read later in that context you can read down to verse 18 Why is it that jesus was able to drive out this evil spirit? Why is it that that the other disciples were not? Why is it that these men who had been with jesus were unable to drive out that demonic power? It's because they had been with him But they had not been with him to the mountain top They had been in his presence sure they were able to cast out other demons Jesus says later this kind comes out only through prayer and fasting that tells us that there are different kinds of demonic spirits And different levels of wickedness different levels of power in the demonic realm So the disciples that had not visited the mountain top were the ones who struggled to cast out demons my friend If you've ever struggled with casting out a demonic being If it's ever taken you a really long time to do it If you had to stay there for three four hours driving this thing out My suggestion to you is that you spend more time on the mountain top Because the scripture tells us that with a simple command Jesus would drive out demonic beings you say oh, but that's jesus however That's the same power that dwells in you my friend You have the same exact power that raised jesus from the dead dwelling in you So how do you cast out demonic beings? It's simple Spend time with jesus when you're spending hours with jesus It will simply take you seconds to cast out demons And if it takes you seconds to cast out demons is because there's power on your life If however, it takes you hours to cast out devils Perhaps you should increase your time with jesus that power that authority comes from being in his presence And that is it for the lesson. I want to pray with you now I want to pray that god would invite you to the mountain top That god would take you to the deeper places in his presence that would cause you to walk in heavenly authority Come on. Let's pray and let's believe that god would use your life in this way father in the name of jesus I pray for that one receiving this prayer now And I ask lord that you would give them a greater hunger for your presence That you would invite them to the mountain top to spend time in your glory That they walk in the glory of god That they walk in your presence In the name of jesus we pray and I want you to say it because you believe it say amen The truth is my friend That you'll hear many things about spiritual warfare and demons that aren't true You've heard it said new levels new devils But my friend there's no devil who can walk on your level When you walk in the presence of god I want to welcome now the new members of spirit church.
