In these deliverance studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:19.530 we will be exposing the occult, revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, 4 00:00:19.540 --> 00:00:23.570 rites, eulogies, phrases, and definitions that demon worshippers use. 5 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.970 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 6 00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:32.490 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:38.320 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, Upon this rock I will build my church, 8 00:00:38.330 --> 00:00:41.720 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 9 00:00:42.050 --> 00:00:46.640 Today, the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 10 00:00:54.190 --> 00:00:55.700 May I bless you, please. 11 00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:00.470 Lord, these that study thy word, let thy spirit anoint them. 12 00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:03.450 Let the precious power of the Holy Ghost come to them. 13 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:05.990 Let them be doubly blessed. 14 00:01:06.490 --> 00:01:11.140 Give them thy holy strength to move into the world of the unseen. 15 00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:17.180 and sometimes the unknown, to walk in that world in faith and in courage and 16 00:01:17.190 --> 00:01:18.980 help them to set multitudes free. 17 00:01:19.490 --> 00:01:22.320 I believe you to bless everyone that studies this word, 18 00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:26.300 that they indeed shall be a conqueror in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 19 00:01:26.970 --> 00:01:27.970 Amen. 20 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.970 We live in a world today that a lot is said about exorcism. 21 00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:36.740 Television, radio, books. 22 00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:41.620 We have some that are trying to practice exorcism that have no capabilities of doing 23 00:01:41.630 --> 00:01:47.530 it at all. For the simple reason that Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself 24 00:01:47.540 --> 00:01:48.830 could not stand. 25 00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:51.460 And seeing that they belong to the same kingdom, 26 00:01:51.470 --> 00:01:54.180 they can't do anything like exorcism. 27 00:01:54.270 --> 00:01:57.240 We're talking about God's people casting out the devil's people. 28 00:01:57.830 --> 00:02:01.920 And so we're talking about holiness casting out unholiness. 29 00:02:01.970 --> 00:02:06.520 And so we're dealing in two separate worlds. 30 00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:11.790 In the Great Commission, in Mark's Gospel, chapter 16 and verse 17, 31 00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:16.750 under our... our general study in Principalities and Powers called, 32 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.850 What is Exorcism? The Lord Jesus said, 33 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:22.730 And these signs shall follow them that believe. 34 00:02:22.820 --> 00:02:26.370 In my name shall they cast out devils, 35 00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:29.480 and they shall also speak with new tongues. 36 00:02:30.940 --> 00:02:36.190 We wish to involve ourselves in this study and what we would determine to be an in 37 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.630 -depth study on a most important subject, and that is exorcism. 38 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:47.870 To begin with, you're not a peculiar person if you're involved in exorcism. 39 00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:54.660 Because we believe that every Christian in the world has a right 40 00:02:54.670 --> 00:03:00.500 and a power to be involved in exorcism of setting people free from the 41 00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:01.510 devil's power. 42 00:03:02.690 --> 00:03:06.460 Our first thought in it is, where should demons be cast out? 43 00:03:06.690 --> 00:03:10.780 I have known many times people saying, 44 00:03:10.790 --> 00:03:14.320 I'd like to have a private session of exorcism. 45 00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:17.790 And in studying the Word of God, 46 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.730 I have seen that not of necessity do we 47 00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:29.490 need a private session. Now, some are afraid of the public exorcism because a 48 00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:33.030 person might, like in Jesus' day, be thrown on the ground, 49 00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:37.470 be knocked on the ground, scream out, and they would be, you know, 50 00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:40.590 ashamed to have that happen where they were. 51 00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:45.410 Now, in the New Testament with the Lord Jesus Christ, 52 00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:49.590 spirits were cast out in church, in church meetings, 53 00:03:49.700 --> 00:03:54.630 also on street corners, and also in open -air services. 54 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.810 But almost always there were a number of people around, 55 00:03:59.820 --> 00:04:05.250 including believers and unbelievers, who saw it and always said, and they wondered. 56 00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:09.210 They were simply amazed that Jesus had done it. 57 00:04:10.350 --> 00:04:15.440 At least you and I must never attempt to hide or conceal what God is doing. 58 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.590 We must never in any way let any shame come to us for what God is doing. 59 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.230 For what God is doing is so great, so wonderful, and such a tender mercy, 60 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.830 we should always put it out in front and say, this is what Jesus has done, 61 00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:30.490 and we are not ashamed of it. 62 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:37.830 If demons are to be cast out in public, who can cast them out? 63 00:04:38.150 --> 00:04:41.160 Now, the Lord Jesus said in the verse that I just read to you, 64 00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:45.550 they that believe, them that believe, shall cast out spirits. 65 00:04:46.010 --> 00:04:48.640 Now, if he made it so open like that, 66 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:51.670 then I think you have a right to accept it like that. 67 00:04:53.050 --> 00:04:57.510 Now, all the disciples were there and could believe. 68 00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:00.890 There were 12 special ones. There were 70 added later. 69 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.090 Now, that's 82 people right there. 70 00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:06.980 There were other special people that went along with him. 71 00:05:06.990 --> 00:05:11.620 And so he was telling us that all people that had faith, 72 00:05:11.630 --> 00:05:15.620 they could do this. We look a little further, and besides these, 73 00:05:15.630 --> 00:05:19.690 we know that Paul... exercise spirits by His mighty power. 74 00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:24.560 And so any believer, spiritual believer, 75 00:05:24.710 --> 00:05:30.520 living believer, they should become involved in helping 76 00:05:30.530 --> 00:05:35.780 those who need release from satanic forces through prayer. 77 00:05:36.010 --> 00:05:40.180 The only hope in today's world against the awful tide of the supernatural demon 78 00:05:40.190 --> 00:05:42.980 manifestation, this is a great thing here, 79 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.350 is for the total church to rise up and set men free. 80 00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:50.870 One or two men will never do it, as sure as I'm standing before you. 81 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:53.210 And if I thought a few men could do it, 82 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:57.030 I'd spend all my time in Bible schools just telling a few Bible school students to 83 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.420 do it. But until we get the whole body of Christ doing it, 84 00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:02.140 we're never going to set this world free. 85 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.650 A person must have a right relationship with God, as we've said a number of times. 86 00:06:07.820 --> 00:06:10.170 If he's going to come against the forces of evil, 87 00:06:10.750 --> 00:06:14.560 if any man is going to be an American soldier, he's going to wear American uniform. 88 00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:19.380 You see? And if you're going to come against the powers of Satan, 89 00:06:19.390 --> 00:06:20.860 you're going to wear a Christian uniform. 90 00:06:21.010 --> 00:06:25.620 You're going to be clothed with the power of God and what He gives you to wear at 91 00:06:25.630 --> 00:06:26.630 that time. 92 00:06:27.490 --> 00:06:32.240 You see, then, if I am supposed to cast them out, our third question is, 93 00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:34.000 how can I cast them out? 94 00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.700 Number one, by the Word of God. 95 00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:40.610 The Bible says it is a sword of the Spirit. 96 00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:46.830 And so you take the Word of God and you use the Word of God to speak against it. 97 00:06:47.050 --> 00:06:50.900 For example, in Mark chapter 11, verse 23, it says, 98 00:06:51.010 --> 00:06:55.200 I say unto you that whosoever shall say, put a little circle around the word say, 99 00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:59.430 say unto this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast in the sea, 100 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:02.330 and shall not die in his heart, but shall believe, 101 00:07:02.340 --> 00:07:04.230 put one little circle around, believe, 102 00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:09.570 that those things which he saith, there's your third circle, saith, 103 00:07:09.700 --> 00:07:14.030 it shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. 104 00:07:15.470 --> 00:07:21.420 Now, to confess with our lips, you will correct that line it says without in 105 00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:25.720 your book there would you that's a topographical area area would you those first 106 00:07:25.730 --> 00:07:31.540 four words are to confess with our lips not out but to confess 107 00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:37.730 with our lips is very important to the word believe now 108 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:43.380 and this scripture believe is used one time but in this scripture the word 109 00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:46.380 say or sayeth is used three times 110 00:07:47.010 --> 00:07:50.500 Jesus said he shall have whatsoever he sayeth. 111 00:07:50.820 --> 00:07:56.110 So that means say it, you know, say it in Jesus' name. 112 00:07:56.200 --> 00:07:59.970 Now, when we wish to exercise spirits, 113 00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:03.070 we always do it by the blood of Jesus. 114 00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:05.830 I have a little chorus that I sing, Oh, the blood of Jesus. 115 00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:09.690 I have never had a great deliverance without singing that chorus spontaneously, 116 00:08:09.700 --> 00:08:12.770 never thinking about it. It just pours out. 117 00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:15.140 And I've had dozens of people. 118 00:08:15.260 --> 00:08:18.650 that were present to join in that little chorus, oh, the blood of Jesus. 119 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.010 The most forceful element on the face of this earth is the blood of the Lord Jesus 120 00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:27.010 Christ because blood is life, and we're speaking of the life of Jesus, 121 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.970 the life of Jesus. And so we use the blood. 122 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:36.830 And then we say we come by the authority of the 123 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.610 Great Commission. Now, a policeman comes to you, 124 00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:45.820 and he comes by an authority, either the city, or the county, 125 00:08:45.830 --> 00:08:51.240 or the state, has told him, says, if you find a person speeding, 126 00:08:51.290 --> 00:08:54.880 you have a right to stop him and give him a little ticket and tell him he has to 127 00:08:54.890 --> 00:08:58.780 bring it back in here to see me. And says, you have a right to do that. 128 00:08:58.790 --> 00:09:02.440 And if he doesn't think you have a right, then you also have a gun. 129 00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:05.480 And you can enforce your right, you see. 130 00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:09.610 Because he has been told whatsoever he says, 131 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.110 when he says, stop, you don't keep going. 132 00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:19.360 The only ticket I've ever gotten in this city is 133 00:09:22.730 --> 00:09:26.620 when I came to a place that said STOP, and I slowed down, 134 00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:32.230 and in about three minutes, a cop was on my tail, and 135 00:09:32.870 --> 00:09:36.240 I stopped, and I said, Officer, what can I do for you? 136 00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:38.870 He said, Nothing. 137 00:09:39.550 --> 00:09:42.820 He said, Did you see that sign down there that said Stop? 138 00:09:42.830 --> 00:09:46.090 I said, Yes, sir. He says, Well, why didn't you stop? 139 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:52.410 He said, I said, I slowed down. And he kept on writing. 140 00:09:52.420 --> 00:09:55.590 He says, I'm going to teach you that STOP don't mean slow down. 141 00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.150 And he did. 142 00:09:57.950 --> 00:10:00.000 He gave me a good lesson in reading. 143 00:10:04.420 --> 00:10:08.950 God wants us to have a law behind us. You know, that's strength. 144 00:10:09.160 --> 00:10:13.430 So when you come against a Satan, you said, the one that created life, 145 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.630 the one who made all things, the one that saved my soul, 146 00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:22.780 gave me the great commission that I have the authority to cast you out, get gone. 147 00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:24.630 That's the strongest thing you've got. 148 00:10:24.910 --> 00:10:28.780 And backing that authority up is your strength is the blood of the Lord Jesus 149 00:10:28.790 --> 00:10:32.180 Christ. And backing that up is the glorious Word of God, 150 00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.860 which is the sword of the Spirit. Hey, you can't fail. 151 00:10:34.930 --> 00:10:40.940 You can't fail. You say, what kind of spirits could we deal with in exorcism? 152 00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:43.390 As we have been studying in these lessons, 153 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.090 there are spirits that are related to people being blind. 154 00:10:48.630 --> 00:10:53.000 I have told you before, and I ought to tell you again, as far as we know, 155 00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:54.980 there is no spirit. 156 00:10:55.710 --> 00:11:00.180 There is no spirit that has more than one ability as far as we know. 157 00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:03.020 That's the reason there are multiple spirits in people. 158 00:11:04.950 --> 00:11:08.160 Because one spirit opens the door, he lets the others in. 159 00:11:09.130 --> 00:11:13.420 Did you know a man can start doing a certain thing wrong and he won't know why he 160 00:11:13.430 --> 00:11:14.940 starts doing other things wrong? 161 00:11:15.030 --> 00:11:18.940 And the spirit that he let within him brought in another spirit and he starts doing 162 00:11:18.950 --> 00:11:21.100 things wrong and wonders why he's doing it. 163 00:11:22.310 --> 00:11:25.260 I've had men to say to me, why do I lie all the time? 164 00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:29.050 And I said, very likely because you permitted the spirit of adultery to come into 165 00:11:29.060 --> 00:11:31.310 you. And adulterers says, I need a pal in here. 166 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:32.510 And they brought him along. 167 00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:36.550 You still here? All right. 168 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:42.010 So these spirits are named like this because usually they only have one function. 169 00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:44.230 Those that cause blindness. 170 00:11:45.050 --> 00:11:48.560 And we have seen eyes open by the mighty power of God. 171 00:11:48.790 --> 00:11:52.420 A deafness. And the Bible says they are deceiving spirits. 172 00:11:52.430 --> 00:11:55.840 All they do is confuse you and mess you up until you can't see straight and can't 173 00:11:55.850 --> 00:12:01.770 think straight. There are seducing spirits that will make you and cause you and 174 00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:04.610 woo you to do things that are wrong and say, come, it's all right, 175 00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:08.530 it's not so bad, come on. They are what the Bible calls seducing spirits. 176 00:12:08.540 --> 00:12:10.030 There are jealous spirits. 177 00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:14.690 Jealousy is a spirit. And if you permit yourself to be overwhelmed with jealousy, 178 00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:19.110 you will be abnormal. You cannot be normal spiritually before God if that thing 179 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.050 controls you. There are insane spirits, as we have seen. 180 00:12:22.060 --> 00:12:24.790 There are epileptic spirits. There are familiar spirits. 181 00:12:24.910 --> 00:12:28.860 And there are many others. That's just a small grouping of them. 182 00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:32.790 Demons are a class of fallen spirits, spirit beings, 183 00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:38.110 which the Bible talks about frequently and wants you to take notice of them. 184 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.570 And they are variously called different things, you know. 185 00:12:42.140 --> 00:12:45.350 They're called devils or demons or evil spirits. 186 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.710 And it don't matter what they are, you can set people free from them. 187 00:12:49.880 --> 00:12:54.030 Now, these spirits seek human habitation. 188 00:12:54.090 --> 00:12:58.520 They will live in animals and they will even live in trees and things like that. 189 00:12:58.670 --> 00:13:04.440 But they seek human habitation for the simple reason that they want a 190 00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:07.220 manifestation. They desire a manifestation. 191 00:13:07.670 --> 00:13:12.180 All evidence points to the fact that they are disembodied spirits or spirits without 192 00:13:12.190 --> 00:13:15.980 corporality, without a body. Their desire is for embodiment. 193 00:13:15.990 --> 00:13:17.900 They will possess a man or a beast. 194 00:13:17.910 --> 00:13:20.880 Their activities are in harmony with the objectives of Satan. 195 00:13:20.910 --> 00:13:22.120 Always, always, 196 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:29.250 And that is to defile and to destroy and to hurt the plan of Almighty God. 197 00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:35.030 You are nothing. As the witch doctor in South America told me that 198 00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:39.370 all that he was to the spirits, they called him their apparatus. 199 00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:43.770 They said, you are my apparatus. He was just something that they used. 200 00:13:43.780 --> 00:13:45.750 Just something that they used was all he was. 201 00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:50.690 And when you permit the devil to control you, you're just the devil's apparatus. 202 00:13:50.820 --> 00:13:53.870 He couldn't care less about you. He's wanting to hurt God through you. 203 00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:55.470 That's all that he wants to do. 204 00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:59.630 We find some spirits are imprisoned. 205 00:14:01.530 --> 00:14:05.080 And especially, the Bible says, in the waters of the Euphrates. 206 00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:10.140 And in Revelation 9, 14, it says, saying to the six angels which had the trumpet, 207 00:14:10.270 --> 00:14:13.960 loose the four angels which are bound. They're also bound. 208 00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:16.900 They're not in hell because there's not time for them to go there. 209 00:14:16.910 --> 00:14:18.900 They're bound in the great river Euphrates. 210 00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:22.150 I am just sure of one thing, they won't be the only ones bound. 211 00:14:22.280 --> 00:14:25.230 And they can be bound and be some in St. Joseph River. 212 00:14:25.880 --> 00:14:28.330 Spirits that didn't do what they were supposed to do, 213 00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:33.150 and they were bound and placed there. And one day they will all be loosed. 214 00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:37.170 Demons have no right to dwell on any person, any human being, 215 00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:39.590 and especially those that profess the name of Jesus. 216 00:14:40.020 --> 00:14:43.750 And if the person is disobedient and self -willed and intent upon his own course, 217 00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:48.590 and permits his life to continue empty, empty of the things of God, 218 00:14:48.630 --> 00:14:51.920 A spirit has a right to return and take possession of such a person. 219 00:14:52.150 --> 00:14:55.880 And that's in Luke 11, 24 and 26. We've already studied it. 220 00:14:55.890 --> 00:14:57.980 That when the unclean spirit is going out of a man, 221 00:14:57.990 --> 00:15:00.120 he walks through dry places seeking rest, finding none. 222 00:15:00.130 --> 00:15:03.440 I will return to whence I came. He cometh and findeth it swept and garnished. 223 00:15:03.450 --> 00:15:07.020 And he goeth and take on him seven other spirits more wicked than himself. 224 00:15:07.030 --> 00:15:08.680 And they enter in and dwell there. 225 00:15:08.690 --> 00:15:11.020 And the last state of that man is worse than the first. 226 00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:17.550 Now in exorcism, what must a person actually know inside of himself? 227 00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:19.290 If you want to set somebody free. 228 00:15:19.890 --> 00:15:25.760 Number one, you must realize and know that that person is acting like 229 00:15:25.770 --> 00:15:29.020 the devil. That demons act like Satan. 230 00:15:29.150 --> 00:15:32.040 And that person will cause them to act just like their master. 231 00:15:32.270 --> 00:15:35.080 And that demons vary in strength. 232 00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:40.560 I mean, the extent of strength is simply amazing that they have. 233 00:15:40.830 --> 00:15:45.440 Demons have pride -filled natures. That's the reason they got thrown out of heaven. 234 00:15:45.450 --> 00:15:48.660 They would exalt themselves above the throne of God. 235 00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:52.410 And so they are all filled with pride. Pride -filled natures. 236 00:15:52.540 --> 00:15:55.150 Many demons can live in one person at the same time. 237 00:15:55.160 --> 00:15:57.450 They don't take up any room because they're spirits. 238 00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:00.790 And demons are always unclean. They are never clean. 239 00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:03.010 They are never clean. They're always unclean. 240 00:16:03.020 --> 00:16:06.050 Demons are not to be feared when you're in Christ. 241 00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:10.030 Never. Now, there are religious demons in the world. 242 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:15.610 There are spirits that are religious and apparently have special talents for luring 243 00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:18.670 people into false religions, occult religions. 244 00:16:18.920 --> 00:16:22.730 A man doesn't just drift into the cup. The devil drives him into it. 245 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:25.970 The Bible teaches us in 1 Timothy 4 and 1, 246 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:29.550 the spirit speaketh expresseth that in the latter times some shall depart from the 247 00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:33.670 faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and to doctrines of devils. 248 00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:37.630 And so they are bewitched into it by the devil deceiving them. 249 00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:40.870 So demons give false revelations. You better believe it. 250 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.410 They give teachings that are unscriptural, doctrines that are not right. 251 00:16:45.640 --> 00:16:48.830 and they are possessed with an undue personal ambition, 252 00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:51.630 and they'll give that to people, wanting to rise up above others, 253 00:16:51.640 --> 00:16:53.110 be above others, be big. 254 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.570 And you have to watch that type of thing, and you can identify it. 255 00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.310 The Bible teaches clearly that this will happen, 256 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.830 especially in the last days, because I just quoted to you, it says, 257 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.510 he speaks expressly that in the latter times is when it will take place. 258 00:17:08.820 --> 00:17:12.690 Now, if one says, why do you involve yourself in exorcism? 259 00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:15.670 The first thing you answer is that you're following Jesus. 260 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.290 That Jesus spent a large portion of his life setting people free from the spirit 261 00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:23.010 world. Now, this is the thing that got me so bad. 262 00:17:23.040 --> 00:17:28.890 That none of the denominations in the world set themselves to set 263 00:17:28.900 --> 00:17:32.990 people free from spiritual hurt. None of them would. 264 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.050 And actually they said, we don't want to talk about this subject. 265 00:17:36.060 --> 00:17:37.410 Well, that pleases Satan. 266 00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:41.010 If you won't talk about it, he has full reign to do whatever he pleases. 267 00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:43.410 He just runs wild if you don't talk about it. 268 00:17:43.560 --> 00:17:49.510 And so you must... realize that you can set people free and that God wants 269 00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:52.190 you to set them free. Now, these spirits that you will deal with, 270 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.570 some are very weak and some are stronger. 271 00:17:54.860 --> 00:17:58.450 Many demons, I can live in one person, and they're unclean spirits. 272 00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:02.670 There are religious spirits, and Jesus found them in church himself, 273 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:08.160 and so we do know that they are spirits that 274 00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:13.500 possess people that are of a religious nature that has to do with many kinds of 275 00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:19.230 faults. religions and all kinds of cults and spiritism and so forth. 276 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.710 Now, Jesus was the greatest of the exorcists. 277 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.430 In Luke 7, 21, in that same hour, he cured many of their infirmities and their 278 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.490 plagues, and he cured many of evil spirits. 279 00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:33.710 Many, not a few, but many of evil spirits. 280 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.710 And unto many that were blind, he gave their sight. 281 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.490 I like that word many there. 282 00:18:39.250 --> 00:18:43.550 In Luke 8 and 26, it says, And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, 283 00:18:43.560 --> 00:18:45.090 which is over against Galilee. 284 00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:50.230 And here is the story of the person that we had in another lesson, 285 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.550 where the Lord removed the spirits from this man, 286 00:18:53.560 --> 00:18:57.010 and the man said that there were about 2 ,000 spirits in him. 287 00:18:57.080 --> 00:19:02.730 And those entered into 2 ,000 different pigs or swine, 288 00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:06.370 and they ran into the sea, and they were destroyed. 289 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:12.150 Now, in Luke chapter 9, in verse 1, the Lord Jesus spoke to his 12 disciples and 290 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.790 says, Now, I give all of you authority over all. 291 00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:20.570 I put a circle there, and I like to believe the whole thing. 292 00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:24.850 He said, I give you power and authority over all demons. 293 00:19:25.040 --> 00:19:26.330 Now, brother, that was all of them. 294 00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:30.630 That meant there wasn't a single evil spirit on the face of the earth that could 295 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.790 stand before these men, that he gave them authority over all of these spirits. 296 00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:38.570 And Luke chapter 9, 297 00:19:39.230 --> 00:19:41.620 And verse 37, it came to pass that on the next day, 298 00:19:41.630 --> 00:19:43.780 when they were come down from the hill, the people met him. 299 00:19:43.790 --> 00:19:47.920 And I told you the story already of that boy, that the spirit taketh him, 300 00:19:47.930 --> 00:19:50.960 and how the Lord Jesus cast that spirit out of him. 301 00:19:50.970 --> 00:19:53.960 And the Lord Jesus called it an evil spirit. 302 00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:55.620 I mean, an unclean spirit. 303 00:19:55.630 --> 00:19:59.180 And he healed the child, and he delivered him again unto his father. 304 00:19:59.190 --> 00:20:02.000 And so we are following not a denomination. 305 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.270 We're following not a people. We're not following a doctrine. 306 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.550 We're following specifically the Lord Jesus Christ. 307 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:16.120 Now, if you go out casting spirits out of people, 308 00:20:16.130 --> 00:20:17.660 you may get a little persecution. 309 00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:20.910 And that might be just enough to send some of us home. 310 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.810 Say, well, I can't stand it. I'll go home. 311 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.310 Well, that's been done before. That won't be the first time people went home. 312 00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:32.090 But if you go out against the kingdom of the devil, I've had people say, 313 00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:36.830 you know, until I got... received the holy spirit and i really began to to pray for 314 00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:41.790 people and bless people i didn't have any troubles but man do i have them now 315 00:20:42.530 --> 00:20:47.380 well i said well what do you think beforehand you didn't bother the devil at all and 316 00:20:47.390 --> 00:20:50.060 now you're tormenting him what do you expect him to do sit down and fiddle his 317 00:20:50.070 --> 00:20:51.680 thumbs well 318 00:20:52.550 --> 00:20:57.120 you got him wrong he's going to fight you back now all you do is fight him back then 319 00:20:57.130 --> 00:20:58.320 you've got a bigger victory 320 00:20:59.070 --> 00:21:02.400 It's good not to only win over the diseases and the needs. 321 00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:05.500 It's good to win over him too. We have power over him also. 322 00:21:05.670 --> 00:21:08.220 The Bible says resist him and he has to flee. 323 00:21:08.810 --> 00:21:13.100 Glory be to God. So we are not in any way intimidated by him. 324 00:21:13.110 --> 00:21:18.660 We are not in any way in a position where we have any fear of him or his 325 00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:21.600 evil spirits or the conditions in people. 326 00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:26.690 When we pray for that girl in the Philippines and... 327 00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:31.610 You know, when a person's in a maximum security prison, you don't just walk in. 328 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:35.810 And so we went to the mayor first of that great city of Manila, 329 00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:39.010 asked him if we could pray for that girl. And he passed the buck. 330 00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:42.170 Finally, he said, now two people have died. 331 00:21:42.180 --> 00:21:45.170 The doctor laughed at her, and he died in 24 hours. 332 00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.470 And the head jailer kicked her, and he died in four days. 333 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.430 And neither one got sick. They just died. 334 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.190 And he says, you'd be the third one to die, and that'd be an international problem. 335 00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.530 And I said, Mayor, I'm not going to die. 336 00:21:56.970 --> 00:21:59.020 And I said, the Lord didn't send me there to die. 337 00:21:59.030 --> 00:22:01.460 The Lord sent me there to set the girl free. 338 00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:04.670 And I said it so positively, he believed it. 339 00:22:05.530 --> 00:22:06.980 But he still passed the buck. 340 00:22:06.990 --> 00:22:09.120 He said, go and see the chief doctor, 341 00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:12.840 the six doctors taking care of that prison, and see the head doctor. 342 00:22:12.970 --> 00:22:15.600 And I went over there, and he was an unbeliever. 343 00:22:16.910 --> 00:22:21.160 He said he had had 8 ,000 autopsies in that room and hadn't found a spirit yet. 344 00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:26.040 I didn't answer him at all. I just said you found Clarita and you're scared of her. 345 00:22:26.570 --> 00:22:29.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He thought he might be the next one to die. 346 00:22:29.810 --> 00:22:32.260 Two had already died that were very close friends of his. 347 00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:36.930 And so when we went before that thing, we just commanded it to come out. 348 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:42.370 And it had to obey, you know. It had nothing else to do except to come out. 349 00:22:43.510 --> 00:22:45.940 It took six men to hold her at one time. 350 00:22:45.990 --> 00:22:48.920 And all of them got beaten and scarred and all messed up. 351 00:22:49.290 --> 00:22:51.760 And when I touched her, she couldn't do a thing. 352 00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:54.830 She couldn't fight. She couldn't slap. She couldn't kick. 353 00:22:54.840 --> 00:22:57.470 She couldn't do a thing except scream and cry. 354 00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.730 And I said, shut that up. I don't want to hear that either. 355 00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:01.650 I only want you to come out of there. 356 00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:04.630 And the thing came out of her, and she was set free. 357 00:23:05.040 --> 00:23:09.790 God commands you and me, number one, to have compassion. 358 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.530 Compassion upon those that Satan has hurt. 359 00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:15.750 We're just not out looking for trouble. 360 00:23:16.190 --> 00:23:18.700 We're just not out seeking to find difficult cases. 361 00:23:18.710 --> 00:23:20.480 You might not be able to handle them. 362 00:23:22.030 --> 00:23:24.840 I fasted for every major case we've ever had. 363 00:23:24.850 --> 00:23:27.780 We fasted and prayed, preparing ourselves for it. 364 00:23:27.790 --> 00:23:31.860 We don't just walk in on it. And the Lord doesn't let those things happen to you. 365 00:23:31.870 --> 00:23:35.160 The Lord protects you in that way that if you're coming up against one, 366 00:23:35.170 --> 00:23:36.860 the Lord prepares you for it. 367 00:23:36.870 --> 00:23:39.720 But God doesn't want you nor me, either one, 368 00:23:39.730 --> 00:23:44.000 nor the whole body of Christ to back off from any situation on the face of this 369 00:23:44.010 --> 00:23:47.760 earth. He wants us to walk into it in mighty victory. 370 00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:51.920 Glory be to God, and I believe it, and I accept it in Jesus' name. 371 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.870 Now, in Luke chapter 11 and verse 14, 372 00:23:56.730 --> 00:24:00.800 it says, And he was casting out a spirit or a devil, and it was dumb. 373 00:24:00.810 --> 00:24:03.180 And it came to pass when the devil was going out, the dumb spake, 374 00:24:03.190 --> 00:24:08.060 and the people wondered. You will forever have, the people will never understand it. 375 00:24:08.070 --> 00:24:11.480 They're going to try to give you the glory for it and to tell how great you are. 376 00:24:11.490 --> 00:24:16.480 And if you receive it, you'll lose the anointed, and you may die like Herod. 377 00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:19.650 because you took the glory unto yourself and didn't give it to God. 378 00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:23.770 It isn't that we have power, it's that we have the power of Jesus and we use his 379 00:24:23.780 --> 00:24:27.490 power. And Luke 11, 24, it says that when the unclean spirit is going out, 380 00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:30.630 he walketh in dry places, seek and rest, and findeth none. 381 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.730 And you say, well, can I send them to hell? 382 00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:38.890 No, you cannot send them to hell. You can send them into dry places. 383 00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:42.250 Always use the Bible. You can send them into dry places. 384 00:24:42.260 --> 00:24:44.230 You can send them to uninhabited places. 385 00:24:44.410 --> 00:24:47.600 But you cannot send them to hell because their time, they're going, 386 00:24:47.610 --> 00:24:49.040 but their time is not yet. 387 00:24:49.130 --> 00:24:52.480 When Satan is put in hell, all the spirits that are with him, 388 00:24:52.490 --> 00:24:53.940 they will be placed there also. 389 00:24:53.950 --> 00:24:57.900 And they will be with him forever and ever because they followed him in rebellion 390 00:24:57.910 --> 00:24:59.860 when they rebelled against God. 391 00:24:59.950 --> 00:25:05.500 One of the most beautiful verses in the Bible is your Acts chapter 10 and verse 392 00:25:05.510 --> 00:25:06.510 38, 393 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:12.690 which says, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy 394 00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.950 Ghost and with power. 395 00:25:14.060 --> 00:25:19.550 who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed 396 00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:23.390 of the devil, for God was with him. 397 00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:28.870 That's the ministry that God wants you, me, the total body of Christ, 398 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:30.830 the total church of the Lord Jesus Christ. 399 00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:32.870 He wants every one of us to perform, 400 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.690 that we will go about wherever the Lord leads us, 401 00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:42.890 and that we shall set people free from the power of the devil. 402 00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:47.420 Wherever I travel overseas, wherever I go, 403 00:25:47.550 --> 00:25:51.520 I immediately tell people that Jesus can cast out evil spirits. 404 00:25:52.470 --> 00:25:54.840 You say, you just go start a fight, don't you? 405 00:25:54.870 --> 00:25:56.700 Well, I guess you could call it that. 406 00:25:57.770 --> 00:26:00.800 But until you let the devil know that you're in charge, 407 00:26:00.810 --> 00:26:02.440 he seems to want to take charge. 408 00:26:03.050 --> 00:26:06.000 But immediately you call his hand and say, I'm here now. 409 00:26:06.270 --> 00:26:11.450 You better know it. And I'm here in victory and strength and power and dominion 410 00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:17.040 under Jesus. You better know it. And then you do have that victory and that power. 411 00:26:17.490 --> 00:26:22.260 Wouldn't it be great if the whole body of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ could 412 00:26:22.270 --> 00:26:23.440 set millions free? 413 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:28.030 Yeah, it would certainly be great. It would certainly be wonderful. 414 00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:34.300 We're believing that we're right upon the time when at least hundreds of 415 00:26:34.310 --> 00:26:36.860 thousands of people are going to set others free. 416 00:26:36.870 --> 00:26:39.800 At least hundreds of thousands. There might even be millions of people. 417 00:26:39.810 --> 00:26:42.080 But at least hundreds of thousands of people. 418 00:26:42.150 --> 00:26:45.360 are going to set others free by the mighty power of God. 419 00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:50.100 And the purpose in these lessons is to get us all ready for the greatest hour the 420 00:26:50.110 --> 00:26:54.820 church has ever known. And as you use these lessons just as a beginner, 421 00:26:54.970 --> 00:26:58.720 and you dig deeper there into the Word of God, I want to tell you something. 422 00:26:58.730 --> 00:27:00.540 You will be able to set people free. 423 00:27:00.730 --> 00:27:03.680 Every one of you will be able to set people free. 424 00:27:03.790 --> 00:27:07.700 And we're going to believe God that that's the ministry that God will give you.
