DEALING WITH DEMONS OR EVIL SPIRITS: Jesus replied, "Son, there is a lot in there you don't know." Meaning the Bible. He continued, "not one single time in the New Testament is the Church ever taught to pray that God the Father or Jesus would do anything against the devil. In fact, to do so is to waste your time. The believer is told to do something about the devil or evil spirits. The reason is because you have the authority to do it. The Church is not to pray to God the Father about the devil or evil spirits; the church is to exercise the authority that belongs to it. The New Testament tells believers themselves to do something about the devil. The least member of the Body of Christ has just as much power over the devil as anyone else, and unless believers do something about the devil, nothing will be done in a lot of areas. We believe that certain people have power. No, Jesus said the least member of the Body of Christ which is the church has just as much power over the devil or even spirit is as anyone else; and when we start believing that, that's when we're going to get the job done. Jesus continued, "I've done all I'm going to do about the devil until the Angels come down from heaven, takes the chain and binds them, and put him into the bottomless pit [Revelation 20:1- 3]." That came as a real shock to him, the preacher . "Now," he said, "I'll give you the four references that prove that. First of all, when I arose from the dead, I said, "All power [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18). The word "power" means "authority." But I immediately delegated my authority on earth to the Church, which is my Body and I can work only through the Church, for I am the head of the Church." (Your head cannot exercise any authority anywhere except through your body). The second reference Jesus gave him was (Mark 16:-1518) "And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believe it and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing: it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." He said, "the very first sign mentioned as following any believer-- not any pastor or any evangelists-- is that they shall cast out devils. That means that in mind Name they shall exercise authority over the devil, demons, and evil spirits, because I have delegated my authority over the devil to the Church." Remember, (Colossians 1:13) says, "who had delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. . ." (One translation says "the Father hath [has] delivered us from the power of darkness."] Again that's the Greek word "power" here for "authority." The verse should read, "dear Father has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." God already has delivered us from the authority of darkness! Therefore, we've God a right to speak to darkness--- that is, Satan and demons and evil spirits of his kingdom-- and tell them what to do !
