‘’How to bind ‘’demons and evil spirits’’
How to bind demons and evil spirits Mc Crossan Boot them out in Jesus name…
It is the same when we pray for someone that is sick, which way do we pray? Do we ask God to heal that person or do we attack the spirit that is really behind the person’s illness, and that is a serious question, for ‘’ we don’t know how to pray or how to pray as we should’’ but the Holy Spirit knows exactly what we should be praying for.
12 For ‘’our struggle’’ is ‘not against ‘flesh and blood,’’ but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6 10 New International Version (NIV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, Ourstrugglesare‘’not’’ against flesh and blood; but we always fight against ‘’flesh and blood’’ people in other words! In every circumstance where people are involved we go to war against the person or persons, but how many of us realise that it is the evil forces that are using them that is the problem, not the people. When I say we go to war I mean that it is the person that we focus on, and don’t think there is an evil spirit using that persontohaveagoatusforwhateverreason.

Romans 8:26Expanded Bible ·Also [or in the same way], the Spirit helps us ·with [or in] our weakness. ‘’We do not know how to pray as we should [or what we ought to pray for].’’ But the Spirit himself ·speaks to God for us [intercedes] with ·deep feelings [groaning] ·that words cannot explain [or that are inexpressible; or that are unspoken; or too deep for words]
16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.20 But if I cast out demons with the’’finger of God,’’ surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armour in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
Luke 11 New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus was the stronger man who bound Satan and all his evil spirits, after he died and went down into hell and in Satan’s kingdom he bound him in defeat; and all his hordes of demons and evil spirits by the power of God that wasinhim.I.e.the Holy Spirit;Satan the devil is defeated for all time and every spirit with himhaveno power over usunlesswe givehimit by Theunbelief.devilisonlyafallenangelfulloftrickeryanddeceit,andcanbeinonly inoneplaceatonetime;heisnotlikesomeChristiansthink,whichis,heis like God, ‘everywhere at once.’ He is not everywhere listening to our prayersorconversations,onlyGodhearsourthoughtsandwords,thedevil cannot hear our thoughts; he can influence them, or should I say his evil spiritscaninfluenceourthoughts,nothim.

Ephesians 6 12
1 Peter 3 New International Version (NIV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 19 After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

1- Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit, to be tempted there by Satan. 2 For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry. 3 Then Satan tempted him to get food by changing stones into loaves of bread. “It will prove you are the Son of God,” he said.
Inthisfollowingscriptureitsays,that‘eventhecaptivesofthemightyshall be taken from them;’ so we can take back our loved ones from Satan’s power or place where he has them bound, but let us seek that wonderful ‘’gift of discernment’’ firstbeforewegoafterSatan,hisdemons,andspirits we have authority over Satan himself and every demon or spirit because Jesus defeated him, and them, ‘’once and for all time.’’ This gift of discernment is on offer to all who desire it sincerely, and it is up to us to askforthegiftsthatwillhelpthechurch,God’speople.

But Jesus told him, “No! For the Scriptures tell us that bread won’t feed men’s souls: ‘’obedience to ‘’every word’’ of God is what we need.”
Then Satan took him to Jerusalem to the roof of the Temple. 6 “Jump off,” he said, “and prove you are the Son of God; for the Scriptures declare, ‘God will send his angels to keep you from harm,’ they will prevent you from smashing on the rocks below.”
Next Satan took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. 9 “I’ll give it all to you,” he said, “if you will only kneel and worship me.” 10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “The Scriptures say, ‘Worship only the Lord God. Obey only him.’”
Jesus retorted, “It also says not to put the Lord your God to a ‘’foolish test!”

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “A divided kingdom ends in ruin. A city or home divided against ‘itself’ cannot stand. 26 And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is fighting himself and destroying his own kingdom. 27 And if, as you claim, I am casting out demons by invoking the powers of Satan, then what power do your own people use when they cast them out? Let them answer your accusation! 28 But if I am ‘’casting out demons’’ ‘’by the’’ ‘’Spirit of God,’’ then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. HowdidJesussayhewascastingoutdemons?Answer by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit and who do we have living in our bodies, that ‘’same Holy Spirit.’’ Jesus never did anything by his own thoughts; no! he followed the

Matthew 8:16-Living Bible
29 One cannot rob Satan’s kingdom without ‘’first binding Satan.’’ ‘Only ‘then’ can his ‘’demons be cast out!’’* 30 ‘’ anyone who isn’t helping me is harming me.’’ A significant thing to notice here in this scripture is what Jesus said; and thatstatementinthemidstofexplainingaboutbindingSatanthedevil,was ‘’anyone who isn’t helping me is harming me,’’ when I first read that, it shocked me, for I realised that if Christians who are not helping Jesus by spreading the gospel, casting out demons and sharing the salvation messageisactuallyharminghim
Holy Spirits promptings or words. He healed those,whomthe Holy Spirit prompted him to heal, and it is time us Christians learned to follow the Holy Spirits words or prompting for then we shall see awesome miracles happeningbeforeourveryeyes.
That evening several demon possessed people were brought to Jesus; and when he spoke a single word, all the demons fled; and all the sick were healed Jesus only spoke a single word, and that word was probably ‘Go. ’ But that wordhadpowerbehindit,ithadtheknowledge ofhis positioninhis God behind him and the power of the living Holy Spirit the creator of all that God designed. Jesus knew who was now in him, since he was baptised by JohnattheJordanRiver.

The Baptism of Jesus 13 Jesus left Galilee and went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. 14 But John kept objecting and said, “I ought to be baptized by you. Why have you come to me?”

16 So Jesus was baptized.

15 Jesus answered, “For now this is how it should be, because we must do all that God wants us to do.” Then John agreed.

If Jesus had wanted he could have cast those demons out of the men, and into the Abyss, but instead he allowed the demons to go into the pigs and drown by diving off the cliff, and this meant that the demons were free to go and do more damage to people, because their time for hell had not yet come!‘’You cannot command a demon or spirit to die’’ foritisnottheirtime todie,butyoucancommandthemto ‘’Go in Jesus name’’ andtheywillhave toGo.

The psalmist tells about this, for he says that when Christ returned triumphantly to heaven after his resurrection and ‘’victory over Satan,’’ he gave generous gifts to men. 9 Notice that it says he returned to heaven. I found this scripture amazing for two reasons, one Jesus returned to heaven, which meant for anyone doubting his divinity that he came from there in the first place, and that he returned ‘’triumphantly,’’ meaning ‘’successfully, victoriously, gloriously, proudly, exultantly, jubilantly, elatedly, delightedly.’’
I can just imagine the feelings that Jesus displayed to all of heaven watching, and especially to his father seated on his throne beside Jesus empty throne just waiting on his return, read those words again that express ‘triumphantly,’ and let them sink into your spirit for they are wonderful words meaning triumphantly, but the fullness of the word is expressedamazinglywhenlookedatthefullmeaningoftriumphantly.Can you just imagine how Jesus felt with him dragging the devil and all of his demonic forces defeated, and hanging their heads in shame for all of heavenlookedatthemandsawtheywere defeated forever.

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for the entire Lord’s people.
Ephesians 6 1 New International Version (NIV)
But the sorcerer, Elymas (his name in Greek), interfered and urged the governor to pay no attention to what Paul and Barnabas said, trying to keep him from trusting the Lord. 9 Then Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, glared angrily at the sorcerer and said, 10 you son of the devil, full of every sort of trickery and villainy, enemy of all that is good, will you never end your opposition to the Lord? 11 And now God has laid his hand of punishment upon you, and you will be ‘’stricken ‘’awhile’’ with blindness.” Instantly mist and darkness fell upon him, and he began wandering around begging for someone to take his hand and lead him.

1- When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to ‘’proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.’’ 6 So they set out and went from village to village, ‘’proclaiming the good news’’ and ‘’healing people everywhere.’’ 49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.” 50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is ‘’not against you’ ‘is for you ”
Luke 9 New International Version (NIV)

he said it in another scripture also. ‘’Do not stop anyone healing peoplein ‘’His Name;’’ Jesus. Heknewthatanyonedoingthesethingsusinghisnameisforhimandnot againsthim.Arethechurchleadersdoingasthismanwhowasnotevenan apostle or disciple doing as Jesus proclaimed? This man understood that sicknessordemonshadtoleavewhenheusedthenameofJesusknowing that the demons knew his name and obeyed. What the man said was, becausehehad‘faithinthe‘’ name ’’ofJesus.’ Now what was the difference between this man and the other men who triedtousethenameofJesus? Acts 19 New International Version (NIV) 13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. The difference between this man who successfully drove out demons and healedthesickisbecausehehad ‘’faith in the name of Jesus;’’ hedidn’t ‘’try’’ tohealthesick,’’hejustdiditknowingthat power was in ‘’Jesus name ’’ and these other men just tried to use the name of Jesus, but had ‘’no faith’’ or ‘’realunderstanding’’inJesusname,’’andwhomhewas;andthedifference betweenthemallwasthemanbelievedwithfaith,andtheseothermenhad Thisnone.man healed the sick and delivered people from demonic power by ‘’faith in the name of Jesus,’’ and Christians who now have Jesus actually inside them and have his blessed Holy Spirit within them also, ‘’have ‘’ no ’’ faith’’ or ‘’real belief in the name of Jesus,’’ and what power this wonderful nameactuallyhasinit.
Paul’s handkerchiefs and face towels were actually healing the sick and delivering people from demonic power; he didn’t even have to pray with people or use the name of Jesus; people had faith in the name of Jesus whomPaulpreachedanddelivered;theybelievedthatbecausetheseitems touchedPaulthattheywouldbringthemrelieffromtheirdiseases,justas

2 Kings 13:21 New International Version Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.

JesussaidinMark16 Mark 16Christian Standard Bible (CSB) 14 Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen. 15 Then he said to them, “Go into all the world and ‘’preach the gospel to all creation.’’16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.17 And these ‘’signs’’ will accompany those who believe: In my name they will ‘’drive out demons;’’ they will ‘’speak in new tongues;’’[b]18 they will pick up snakes] if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm them; they will ‘’lay hands on the sick’’, and they ‘’will get well.”
This is how much God wants toheal his people, that he even allows cloth, handkerchiefsandfacetowelsanditemsofclothingtoholdhealinginthem because of this man of faith had used them; healing power can be held in cloths, and this is something that God does, I remember someone was thrown into one of the saints of old that had died and the dead man touched his bones in the grave and came back to life. I think it was the bonesofElisha.
