Who are we to reproach or cast out demons? Jesus didn’t command the angels to cast out demons, but He did to His disciples. He didn’t give His spirit to the angels, but He did His disciples. “For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself."”Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭39‬ and the promise is for EVERYONE to receive the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead and worked miracles and casted out demons and healed the sick and prophesied. Who are we? Nobody in ourselves, but in the Holy Spirit we are clothed in Christ. And the demons flee in the name of Jesus, just as the Bible says they do.

“Who are we to cast out or command demons? “… The gospels and book of acts specifically teach that believers have the power to cast out demons.

In His name He has given us power to cast out demons. Mark 16:17

[gud]

"In Jesus name" and humbling ourselves before the father is the key. We are the righteousness of God. A human can't cast out demons by themselves, but Jesus in us is greater than He who is in the world, & by His authority, we can. Acts shows those who attempted to cast out without a relationship to the father, and those who cast out in Jesus name. Big difference!

[IsaiahEli]

The season is now. Keep Faith.

Jesus is coming soon!! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! I made this channel because I felt guilty for not witnessing enough, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!!

Thank you for your God given insight, that you are sharing. Resist the devil and he will flee, do not address the demonic entities, BUT, call upon the LORD for HIS Devine intervention.

"Mark 16:17 - And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;" 4:30 It bothers me in the end where he seems to emphasize that we do not have the power to cast out demons, like he is demeaning mankind and discouraging the very act of casting out demons. Yes, we can cast out demons "in the name of the Lord".

I just want to apologize. I said some things on this video a while back that I regret now. They're hurtful. And i believe God put it on my heart to say this. I'm sorry brother.

I believe the reason the devil wanted Moses's bones was so the people could worship them because they were notorious for worshipping idols. Hezekiah even had to destroy the brazen serpent because people were worshipping it.

[thecrafter]

don't know. Got it. Nobody does. But it's still a super fascinating verse to me as it lets me know that we will not always have the answers, and that is okay. One day I will get to ask Jesus what this verse was talking about and that is something I greatly look forward to!

[TheBahamian]

This is a PERFECT example of why we need to study scripture for our self! Trust NO MAN's words! ONLY trust the word of Yah!

Mark 16: 17-20 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.”

Hosea 4:6 " My people perish for lack of knowledge"

Proverbs 11: 9 " through knowledge shall the just be delivered"

Everyone, study the scriptures for yourself like the Bereans did. Let no man tell you lies!

As a believer in king Jesus I know for a FACT that that I have authority via King Jesus name to cast out demons!

[CRaul]

who are we to cast out demons!?? Followers of Jesus Christ! We do it in His name and not our own... What are we supposed to do? ignore a possessed person and not cast out the demons in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ???

[donniedale]

I believe when we leave this place, it will be as if a door to knowledge will be imparted to us. We will not have to ask questions because the understanding will be in us. Just one of the many things God can do.

[metorphoric]

What makes this fascinating is that Moses is present with Elijah during the transfiguration. If you recall, Elijah was only 1 of 2 biblical figures to be taken into heave before death (Enoch being the first). Both, Elijah and Moses met with Jesus shortly before his crucifixion and all 3 men bodies could not be accounted for. Could there be a parallel here?

[johnwoodward]

If we are not to address demons directly but pray for God's intervention, then why did Paul address the spirit of divination directly?

[gabrielhalston]

Very good! James 4:7 gives believers instructions on how to deal with demonic power and it says nothing about addressing them verbally, etc. "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Instead of rebuking the devil, we are commanded to SUBMIT (to fully yield and be obedient) to God in our heart and attitude to His Lordship and then RESIST (to stand firm in perseverance) the enemy and the devil will then FLEE (he'll run like the dickens!) from you! Amen!

For the first time ever, I was happy to see a YouTube ad at the beginning of a video. It was an ad for One For Israel.

[newcreationinchrist]

Amen pastor. Great message! I said many times when I haven't understood it passage and it felt like my faith was under attack. So, in the end what I decided to do allowed me to continue to be strong in my faith and be close to Jesus. I just continued to believe. I acknowledged that I didn't understand it and I prayed for God to help me and in the end he has always helped to understand. When things come in the bible that we don't understand, that isn't the time to give up and say no more. That's when we dig in and study to show ourselves approved. God bless 🙏

Faith is always the option we need to fall back on

[christinel.]

You could have easily said you just don’t know. There are things in life we may not have the full knowledge of until we get to heaven where we can ask God face to face. By faith, we must fully trust that the Word of God is 100% true.
