Casting Out Demons
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode inany house, but in the tombs. Luke 8:27
Jesus spent a good part of his ministry casting out demons, but how many churches today teach or even mention this? Why are our churches disabling Christians by not teaching them about the Spiritual Warfare we are all facing?
Yes its easier to pretend Satan and demons don’t exist; but know this they influence our world greater than you can imagine. Unless you acknowledge this and prepare yourself with the Armor of God, you are vulnerable also.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. Luke 8:28
Demons tremble at the mention of Jesus, because there is power in his name. When your covered with the blood of Christ, you are protected. However leaving yourself open and vulnerable you can be overcome by evil.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) Luke 8:29
Jesus was giving all authority by God the Father, he sits at his right hand and on the throne. There is no power in hell that can overcome Jesus, if your under attack call out his name and he will set you free.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.8:30-31
A couple of things learned here, first this man is not just possessed with one demon but multiple demons. Second they identify themselves as Legion, because there are a group of them. Third they beg Jesus not to send them to hell
There’s a lot to learn from this story, For our struggle is not against flesh but against the powers of the dark world (Ephesians 6:12) Don’t be left vulnerable, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today, by his blood you are redeemed and protected Amen
Spiritual Warfare Sermon
Path of the Just
True Gospel
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:6-7
There is only one true gospel of Jesus and that’s the gospel he delivered to us during his time here on Earth. There are believed to be about 40,000 different Christian denominations in the world today, how can this be when we all follow the same Christ?
This is why studying the Word of God is so important, not just because it gives us wisdom and strength, but it also lets us decipher the false religions from the True Gospel
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8-9
Obviously since there are so many different Christian denominations then there must be many false religions. Many claiming to preach in Jesus name but are actually false prophets.
As God said let them be accursed, which means cursed. Theres a price to pay for preaching false religion and doctrine, as Jesus said what would it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10
Doesn’t this sum up Christianity today? The “Prosperity Gospel” being preached by millionaire pastors at there mega churches. They preach only what will please the masses but don’t preach the True Gospel. Hell, Sin, Demons, Rapture, and Tribulation. Topics even though there in the Bible you’ll never heard preach at today’s church.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23
Just because someone preaches in Jesus name doesn’t mean there preaching True Gospel, Jesus knows the truth because Jesus is the truth. Anyone who thinks that can deceive him with your works on Earth will be sadly mistaken.
Learn your Bible, Pray without ceasing, welcome the Holy Spirit then you will know True Gospel in Jesus Name Amen
Obey God Not Man
Who do you obey?
“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:28-29
Peter and the disciples were forbidden from ministering in the name of Jesus. But as Peter said they will obey God and not Man. They knew there lives would be at risk, but they also knew with Jesus they would live forever.
Being a Christian in todays world is not popular either. As Jesus said many people will hate you because of him, but why? Because Jesus is the truth and has come to fulfil the law. The world doesn’t like truth because its exploits there corruption.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged…

Wonderfully Made
Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:7
Jesus begins to teach us about the Holy Spirit, the comforter who he sent from Heaven to take his place as Jesus ascended to his throne next to God
There are many false religions who reject or ignore the Holy Spirit, but as Jesus said in (Matthew 12:32) “Anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin”
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John 16:8-10
The Holy Spirit is our teacher, he helps us learn the truth and the truth is Jesus. Without the help of the Spirit many are misled by manmade doctrine that is not from God.
How do we know if the Spirit is from God? (1 John 4:2) tells us you know it’s the Holy Spirit if they confess Jesus became God in the Flesh (John 1:14)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:12-13
The Holy Spirit will be your guide, he will not glorify himself but glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He provides 7 gifts that Paul teaches in (1 Corinthians 12)
One of the gifts is prophecy, he will show you things to come as they are already revealed in God’s Word.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matthew 12:32
Jesus warned whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. Its unforgivable on Earth and in Heaven, this should be taken very seriously. The Holy Spirit was sent from God as your guide, teacher, comforter, and healer. Welcome the Holy Spirit into your life and watch God do amazing things in Jesus Name Amen
Trust The Lord
Weapons of Warfare
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh 2 Corinthians 10:2-3
We are all in a war right now, its not just a war of the flesh but a Spiritual War. While Jesus came to save your soul, Satan wants to destroy your soul. There are greater forces for and against us that we can’t possibly understand. But if you stand with the Word of God, you accept the Blood of Jesus Christ, you will not be defeated.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds 2 Corinthians 10:4
What are our “Weapons of Warfare” that God has equipped us with to defeat Satan?
- The Blood of Christ
- Continual Prayer
- The Word of God
- The Holy Spirit
- The Love of God
- The Church
These are our Weapons, the question is are you using them? Or are you going defenseless in a dark world? That’s like a sheep going to the slaughter.
Jesus is sitting on the throne, he is sitting at the right hand of God. There is no power in this world that is greater. He has already overcome and defeated the world. Thru Christ living in you , you can overcome the world also.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5
Just like in the Garden of Eden, Satan wants to exalt himself above God. Declaring his Word is false and there is no heaven and hell. But know this Satan is a liar and will be cast into the “Lake of Fire” for eternity. Jesus is the Truth, Life, and the Way nobody gets to Heaven without going thru him
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:6
We see a lot of ministers who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. If you’re going to preach the Word of God then you must live the Word of God. Everyone wants to get to Heaven, but only those who are obedient to Gods will are worthy.
Be prepared for the Spiritual War, arm yourself with Gods “Weapons of Warfare”. Know who your enemy is because your enemy knows who you are in Jesus Name Amen
Unashamed of Jesus
