Deliverance From Satans Powers

Deliverance From Satans Powers

Some ways in which the kingdom of evil manifests its power and the power of Jesus is shown to be greater.

1. Satan manifests power through Disease.

a) The woman with a haemorrhage - Jesus set her free Mark 5:25-34)

b) The crippled woman - Jesus set her free (Luke 13:10-17).

2. Satan manifests power through Denomination.

a) Legion was possessed by demons - Jesus set him free (Mark 5:1-20)

The epileptic boy was afflicted by a demon - Jesus set him free (Mark 9:14-29).

3. Satan manifests power through Destruction.

a) The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy - Jesus the good shepherd came to give life to the full (John 10:10).

b) The boat in which Jesus and his disciples were crossing the lake was nearly sunk - Jesus rebuked the storm (Matthew 8:23-27).

4. Satan manifests power through Death.a) The little girl was dead - Jesus raised her up (Matthew 9:18-26).

b) Lazarus was dead - Jesus raised him up (John 11:38-44).

c) The widow of Nain's son was dead - Jesus raised him up (Luke 7:11-17).

d) Christ was crucified, dead and buried, but was raised from the dead by the power of God (John 10:18; Acts 3:15; Romans 1:4).

Summary Each time Jesus heals, casts out demons, prevents destruction or raises the dead the kingdom of God is ADVANCED.

Every healing or deliverance in the name of Jesus is a curbing of the enemy's powers and the frontiers of darkness are pushed back.Speaking of his approaching death and triumph through the Cross, Jesus said, 'now the prince of this world will be DRIVEN OUT' (John 12: 31).

The process of 'DRIVING OUT' still continues today.

We are all meant to be actively involved in it.
