Demons and Spirits Flee At The Name of Jesus

Jesus Christ died for our sins, made us sons of God, and brought to nothing every power and principality that challenges and oppresses mankind.

Upon His resurrection, God the Father raised His Son to His right hand in infinite power:

"Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

"Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:" (Ephesians 1: 20-21)

While ministering on earth, Jesus cast out demons, who trembled at his very word:

When a Caananite woman sought Jesus' power for deliverance, He healed her daughter at His word:

"Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." (Matthew 15: 28)

In one parable, He explained how demons will leave a host then return:

"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none." (Matthew 12: 43)

The only reason a demon will return is if no one else is there:

"Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished." (v. 44)

Yet for the believer, we have Christ in us, the hope of glory (Colossians 1: 27), and we can trust that no demon can ever enter us or have dominion over us:

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4: 4)

And His Word has taken up residence in us:

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Colossians 3: 16)

So, Beloved, do not worry about demons and other evil spirits, for they have been defeated. The prince of this world, Satan, has been judged (16: 11), and by Christ's death and resurrection, He has made an open display of these wicked forced:

"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." (Colossians 2: 15)

You are more than a conqueror in Christ (Romans 8: 37), and therefore the evil forces of this world tremble when they see you:

"As He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)
