Casting Out Demons

Article by Apostle Nazareth H. Machon

Casting out demons is nothing special with a special calling or ministry.
Casting out demons is a command of Jesus Christ to his followers.
I do not need to be an apostle, or an prophet to cast those evil spirits out.
But who is in the real given the authority do so, as many call them Christians?
If we cast out demons, we need to have in the first place authority, and the authority is given to the true followers of Jesus Christ. That means being born again, John 3:3;5;7
I must be a citizen of the Kingdom of God through, believing, true repentance, baptism by full emersion in water and be filled with the holy spirit!

I need 4 essential things to cast out demons
Number 1 is authority
Number 2 Power
Number 3 is the Holy Spirit
Number 4 is faith
If one of this is missing; I will be in trouble:

Acts 19 : 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.

The point where Jesus is commissioning the true believers is given in Mark 16:17
Mark 16 : 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 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.

As we see it is the believer.
And the authority is the name of Jesus Christ, he has authority, and as we walk with Him, believe in Him and received by Him we have this authority.
Luke 4 : 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Isaiah 51 : 61 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Power we have been given by Jesus Christ. Luke 10 : 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
The Holy Spirit:
Acts 1 : 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:5; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:15-18; Acts 10:38; Acts 10:44-45; Acts 10:47; Acts 11:15-16; Acts 19:2; 1st Cor. 12:13; Titus 3:5

As the born again followers of Christ Jesus we are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now the last essential point is faith: If I do not have faith, I will argue with this spirit for long time and will have no success, this spirit will play me out and humiliate me. This is what Jesus said: Matthew 17 : 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
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.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Well, we see here that the Lord is pointing on all this issues concerning the believers to cast out devils and we see in the statement of the Lord that some do not go out without fasting.
Lets have the procedure here to cast out devils

First I cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ not in my own name and not by my power but by the name of Jesus Christ and they must obey because

Philippians 2: 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.


As well as James 2 : 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

As we see the devils have no other way but to obey the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We cast them out by the name of Jesus Christ, no matter what spirit it is of the evil, no matter how strong no matter how violent, on the end they have to obey.
Fear and unbelieve are a very bad thing, if you fear or lack faith, don’t do it, but if you are bold enough and you believe, all will go well and the person who suffers will be set free instantly or after some battle hours.

One thing I advise here is, before going to deliverance prayers, do fast. Sometimes I am called for few hours to come, so if it is in the afternoon to go there or the person comes, I skip my lunch. This depends on the day time, because we do not know what kind of spirit we meet.
If I have a deliverance service of course I fast the day before.

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy spirit I command you spririt of darkness, leave this person now (if you know the name of the person, mention the name), (if you know the kind of spirit you can mention that spirit) There is no prayer needed, no long words to peruse the devils or other religious activities. Only cast out. Jesus rebuked them and casted them out and this is what we are called to do.

Don’t think you are to small and nothing, its not true, we do it not in our own name, we do it under the authority of Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit which is in us. That’s the spiritual principle.
Go and do it!

One last advise I give. Psalms 115 : 16
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
And read Daniel chapter 10:

Do never ever touch into the second heaven, do not try to destroy anything in the second heaven, because our authority is on earth only. If we fight where we have no authority, we will be defeated bitterly.

Always sanctify yourselves live a holy life, walk with Christ, be bold, have faith

We all start somewhere and we all make mistakes and this is normal, but we learn and we become better and better the more we are doing it and the more we read scriptures.

God bless you!
