What to do when casting out a demon By John Chopores What to do when casting out a demon!
Mat 17:17 Then Jesus answered and
said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the
devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples
to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto
them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove
hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you. When casting out a demon, use
the name of Jesus! MAT 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy
by thy name, and by thy [1]name
cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? (ASV) (Philippians 2:9-10 KJV) (9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of {things} [1]in heaven, and {things} in [2]earth,
and {things} under the earth; [1] 2032. ep-oo-ran'-ee-os; from G1909 and G3772; above the sky:--celestial,
(in) heaven (-ly), high. "from epi (1909), upon, in, and ouranos (3772), heaven. Heavenly, celestial, what pertains to
or is in heaven." [CWSD. PAGE. 646.]. [2] 1919. ep-ig'-i-os; from G1909 and G1093; worldly (phys. or mor.):--earthly, in
earth, terrestrial. "from epi (1909), upon, and ge (1093), the earth. Earthly, being
upon the earth..." [CWSD. PAGE.623.]. But use it with respect, or it
may not work! Cf. (Acts 19:13-17 KJV) (13) Then certain of the vagabond Jews,[1] exorcists, took upon them to
call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We[2]
adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. (14) And there were seven sons
of {one} Sceva, a Jew, {and} chief of the priests, which did so. (15) And the
evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I[3] know, and Paul I[4] know; but who are
ye? (16) And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame
them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that
house naked and wounded. (17) And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks
also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord
Jesus was magnified. [1] exorkistes,
"one who uses an oath, i.e. one who by adjuration professess to
expel demons" [BULLINGER. PAGE. 268.], ""one who employs a
formula of conjuration for the expulsion of demon,"" [VINE. PAGE.
217.]. One of the things that God is saying here is, do not rely on human oaths
(that have no Divine power behind them) to cast out demons! cf. MAT 6:7 But
when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen {do}: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (KJV) JAM 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven,
neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be
yea; and {your} nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. (KJV) [2] hokizo,
"to cause to swear, to lay under the obligation of an oath, to beseech,
conjure" [BULLINGER. PAGE. 27.]. present indicative active, the
"present indicative asserts something which is occurring while the speaker
is making the statement" CWSNT. PAGE. 857.]. The Jewish exorcists, thought
that the "evil spirit" was being cast out, even as they were
speaking, but it was not! [3] ginosko,
"to perceive, observe, obtain a knowledge of or insight into.
" [BULLINGER. PAGE. 434.]. [4] epistamai,
"to fix one's mind upon, i.e. to understand,... to know well"
[BULLINGER. PAGE. 435.], "to know of" [VINE. PAGE. 347.]. There is great power in the name
of Jesus! Cf. MAT 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth. (KJV) (Philippians 2:9-11 KJV) (9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of {things} in heaven, and {things} in earth, and {things} under the
earth; (11) And {that} every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ {is} Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Be careful to not use
vain repetitions! Cf. (Matthew 6:7-8 KJV) (7) But when ye pray, use not[1] vain repetitions, as the heathen {do}:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (8) Be not ye
therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him. [1] battologeo,
"to babble, ... [battologeo] originally signified to
stammer; then, to babble, chatter; so, to use empty words"
[BULLINGER. PAGE. 639.], ""to repeat idly,"" [VINE. PAGE.
525.]. aorist subjunctive used as an imperative, it "usually
forbids an action which is not in progress, and thus commands that it not be
started" [CWSNT. PAGE. 851.]. MAT 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he[1] cast out the spirits with {his} word, and
healed all that were sick: (KJV) [1] aorist indicative active, the "aorist indicative
expresses action that is not continuous" [CWSNT. PAGE. 850.]. Always, be seeking the Gifts and Power of the Holy Spirit.
For it is in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, that you
are able to cast out demons! cf.Mat 12:28 But if I
cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come
unto you. MAT 8:16 And when even was come, they brought unto him many [1]possessed
with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a [2] word, and healed all that
were sick: (ASV) [2] present passive/middle passive [2] logos,
"the word, ... the spoken word; the word, not in its outward form, but
as connected with the inward thought; the word, not written, but spoken;
the word, not as a part of speech, but as part of what is uttered"
[BULLINGER. PAGE. 896.], "I. As respects SPEECH: 1. a word, yet not in the grammatical
sense ..., but language, vox, i.e. a word which, uttered by the living
voice, embodies a conception or idea" [THAYER. PAGE. 380.],
""the expression of thought"-not the mere name of an
object" [VINE. PAGE.683.] Jesus used the words of God (the
Bible) in handing the Devil. cf. MAT 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
(KJV) MAT 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God. (KJV) MAT 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve. (KJV) MAT 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him. (KJV) Never try to use, the power and
ways of Satan, to cast out a demon! Cf. MAR 3:23 And he called them {unto him}, and said unto them in parables, How
can Satan cast out Satan? (KJV) (Acts 19:13-17 KJV) (13) Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to
call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying,
We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. (14) And there were seven sons of
{one} Sceva, a Jew, {and} chief of the priests, which did so. (15) And the evil
spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? (16)
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and
prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
(17) And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus;
and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was
magnified. MAT 9:34 But the Pharisees[1] said, He casteth out devils through the[2]
prince of the devils. (KJV) Not so, for Jesus always did the will of God! [1] imperfect tence, continuous action in past time. [2] archon,
"one first in power, authority, or dominion; hence, a ruler,
lord, prince, chief person" [BULLINGER. PAGE. 602.], "the present
participle of the verb archo, "to rule"; denotes "a
ruler, a prince."" [VINE. PAGE. 487.]. Sometimes when the
spirit leaves a person, it will throw the person down! LUK 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and
tare {him}. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and
delivered him again to his father. (KJV) After the evil spirit, is cast out. Give the glory to God! Cf. John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana
of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed
on him.John 8:50 And I seek not mine own
glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Phil 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [1]4191., pon-ay-rot'-er-os; compar. of G4190; more evil:--more wicked. "wicked or malevolently evil. More wicked"...CWSD. PAGE. 1199.]. causing...sorrow, pain...evil in nature or quality [BULLINGER. PAGE. 881.]. [1]onoma, "that by which one is known, the name by which a person or thing is called; hence, the peoper name or appellation of a person" [BULLINGER. PAGE. 515.].
