October 29, 2023: Leave Us Alone!

"Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, "Let us alone! ...” (Mark 1:23–24, NKJV)

Demons want to be left alone! That is why there is so much resistance to teaching and preaching on deliverance; it disturbs demons and causes them to manifest. They resist anyone who tries to expose them. Ephesians 6:12 says demons are called "rulers of the darkness." In other words, demons have levels of authority in which they operate. According to the level of darkness in a person's life, it will be the level that demons have the right to operate. The more darkness, the more authority they have.

When the light comes, the darkness is disturbed, and its power is broken. Light destroys darkness, and knowledge destroys ignorance. "But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered." (Proverbs 11:9). Therefore, we must discuss the subject of demons and Jesus' power over them. Do not leave them alone! The more light you walk in, the more deliverance you will experience. Evil spirits will try everything to stop people from receiving the knowledge that would set them free.

Jesus was a deliverance preacher. In Mark 6:13, He cast out many demons. In Luke 4:18, He preached deliverance to the captives. The religious system of Jesus' day did not disturb demons until Jesus came along. It is much the same today. Have some fun! Remember, "The gates of hell will not prevail!" In Christ, your victory is sure!
