Oh boy, here we go! What are your thoughts and experience with casting out demons, demon-possession, etc.? Let's talk about it below!

[IsaiahSaldivar]

It is pretty simple

Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 TEACHING them to observe ALL things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Jesus commanded the disciples to cast out demons (Matthew 10 and Luke 10) and told them to continue to make disciples and teach those disciples what I taught you. So should every Christian cast out demons? Yes, even without Mark 16 (I actually believe Mark 16).

In point 2 I do not know why you stopped reading Mark 9:38 it literally tells us we should not forbid people from casting out demons. Jesus gives the green light to those not even a part of His "group"

Mark 9:38 Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40 For he who is not against us is on our side

Interesting Jesus calls casting out demons a miracle. I think we need more miracles in the church, not less.

Casting out demons is done through the Holy Spirit. Every Christian has the Holy Spirit so that means all Christians can cast out demons through the Holy Spirit by the authority of Jesus Christ. The most important thing is to be led by the Spirit.

[jennifersolis]

I am a Christian and have been delivered. I literally felt it leave me. I wasn’t hurting others and showing major signs that I needed it. In fact it was generational. I have seen a deliverance done by a fellow sister in Christ who wasn’t even there to deliver but to pray. She delivered my mother in law who after being delivered no longer needed medications prescribed by doctors. Deliverance is a miracle and it’s also a way of healing. We need more of this in the church, not less. God speaks to me so clearly about deliverance and this is what the church is missing! This video is doing more harm than any good. You are a very intelligent man however sometimes that can get in the way of what the Lord is doing!

[rickyize]

Let me share my story, for months I’ve been praying for my mom she was not saved at the time . I prayed for the lord to pour his spirit over her everyday for months. One day I heard the voice of God and he told to go and preach to her, As soon as I entered the room I felt like a 10 pound weight fell on my shoulder! (spirtual attack) as I was preaching my heart out probably an hour in, she began to sob hysterically and told me that she felt a warm presence, she immediately began to sweat and shake I layed hands on her head and began to pray for her. She felt the Holy Spirit for the first time! HALLELUJAH! She started to repent on the spot! Next morning she was still in shock that she experienced that. So next day we are in the kitchen and I heard the voice again! I started preaching the word of God and she fell down on her knees! The Holy Spirit came in again, I put my hands on her and she began to burp ! I IMMEDIATELY knew what was going on and started renouncing things! I said By the power and authority of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her now! And it came out with the most demonic scream I’ve ever heard. (My first time seeing a demon being casted out and first time doing it) She got up and we PRAISED THE LORD !! She described it and she said the spirit clenched to her rib cage. It didn’t wanna leave. But She had been delivered nonetheless ! PRAISE GOD. Next thing I know I’m on the ground I feel this presence above all of us and I started speaking in tongues !!! HALLELUJAH THANK YOU JESUS!!!
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; “
Mark 16:17

[Akonn]

So as someone who has had demons casted out of me, Christians can cast out demons and should be willing to cast out demons at some point. I would caution against saying not every Christian needs to cast out demons because you never really know when you will come across someone who may need prayer for that and if we are mentally disengaged from it, it will be harder to actually do it.

[MrIAMDEADGAME]

This brother is leading a lot of people ASTRAY!! Lord show him that deliverance is the CHILDRENS bread! He is keeping believers bound!! Lord help him!!

[jesusisking]

We can absolutely cast out demons in the name and under the authority of Jesus Christ.

[nicholasgonzalez]

If you’ve done mission work in places like Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, or India you know that casting and Demons is a normal thing. You don’t have to look for it or seek it, the supernatural is common.

[CasenFerg]

It takes a strong man to admit when he is wrong. Humble yourself brother. Pride comes before the downfall.

[exaucemayunga]

Casting demons is not part of the "gifts of the Holy Spirit", it's one of the authorities given to us by Jesus, through prayer, fasting, and faith. Amen🙏🏾

[felishacummins]

Since I’ve been saved Jesus has delivered me from demonic oppression and I’ve been so blessed to be able by the authority of Jesus to cast out demons from my children who went through things from my past and Holy Spirit showed me the spirits and I began to cast out hallelujah thank you Jesus

[alecferguson]

Let me put it to you this way, I encountered a demon once. It appeared in my moms bedroom in the middle of the night. It had glowing red eyes, a shadowy figure, and talon like claws. I called upon the name of Jesus and Christ appeared as a light being on the cross on the wall of my moms bathroom. Light literally penetrated the blinds in my house. I looked back by the door where the demon was and it was gone. There is power in the name of Jesus.

[cliann]

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received! Matthew 10:8

Casting out demon is not a gift it’s an assignment

[beginningandlast]

I’m a Bible fundamentalist. Grew up in Calvary chapel. Nevertheless, I have seen and been a part of a few deliverances. I also work in mental health and have seen people who I believe are severely demonized. If you really want to know the truth brother I would say step into this ministry and see it yourself. It made me a believer.

[samanthasmith]

I have only had one experience with praying for someone with a demon. It was my cousin and I actually prayed for her over the phone. It was completely Holy Spirit Led because I had no idea what to do. The Holy Spirit simply let me to scriptures to speak over her and in prayer. It didn’t look like a deliverance ministry but she told me she was shaking uncontrollably but felt free when it was over. I think it’s not always as intense as people make it. Jesus finished the work, when we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit we don’t have to rely on ourselves to use the right words or whatever people are doing these days.

[monkeypwn]

Fact is that casting out demons was a regular move of God that the church moved away from as it Lost it's power and authority. You are looking at this as an either or situation, when it should be looked at as a regular Christian walk and experience. It's in the word of God for us to do now.

[ivanabutler]

Y’all better get y’all healing and deliverance in Jesus name! I have witnessed demon possession! I have even participated in the deliverance of people from demons! This stuff is real just as Jesus said and you know what!? Experiencing these things really strengthened my faith in God and proved to me all the more that the bible is TRUE! Thank you Lord for giving us the authority to cast out demons in Jesus name! 🙌🏼❤️

[kellyhanson]

I walked away from Christ during a very difficult season back in 2016 and went deep into the occult/Satanism. During this time I opened up my body to these spirits and was possessed (from multiple eye witnesses). I would say that I was still a Christian but God was warning me through dreams about the path of destruction I was heading down.
Many times I would randomly look at the clock and wonder how so much time would pass but I couldn't remember doing anything.

When I rededicated my heart back to Christ in 2017, repented of my actions and threw away every occult item, I was immediately set free from the spiritual bondage I was in. ❤

While I was not being possessed anymore because I was now the complete property of the Holy Spirit, I was still experiencing minor forms of demonic oppression. Prayer counselling truly helped set me free, which involved full repentance and surrendering to God EVERYTHING.

Jesus is so incredibly faithful. There are doors such as witchcraft that do give Satan legal authority. Once that deal has been made, it needs to be broken in the name of Jesus.

[eyesup]

For someone who knows his Bible… what are you thinking??? One third of the miracles Jesus performed were casting out demons!! It was obvious that everyone understood demonization and possession then and Jesus taught by example. Also, Jesus told His disciples they were wrong to tell the man who cast out demons to stop. God can do anything and use anyone for anything at any time. I do agree we should be educated (Bible study, prayer, led by the Holy Spirit) to be better vessels for God to work through us.
