How to CAST OUT DEMONS and BREAK CURSES - Spiritual ...

TWO
Demons have Personality
As we look at the Scriptures, we find that demons have specific marks of personality.
1. 1. THEY THEY HA HAVE HA VE KNOWLEDGE
KNOWLEDGE
The demons in the man in the synagogue said to Jesus:
“Let “Let us us alone! alone! What What have have we we to to do do with with You, You, Jesus Jesus of of Nazareth? Nazareth? Did Did You You come come to
to
destroy destroy us? us? I I know know who who You You are are – – the the Holy Holy One One of of God!” God!” (Mark (Mark 1:24)
1:24)
They knew that Jesus was the Messiah.
2. 2. THEY THEY KNOW KNOW WHO WHO THEY THEY ARE
ARE
Jesus asked the demons in the man who came out of the tombs the question:
“What “What is is your your name?” name?” And And he he answered, answered, saying, saying, ‘My ‘My name name is is Legion; Legion; for for we we are
are
many.’” many.’” (Mark (Mark 5:9)
5:9)
It was not the man responding. It was the demons in the man. They knew who they were. Demons do
have knowledge of themselves.
3. 3. THEY THEY HA HAVE HA HAVE
VE A A WILL
WILL
Jesus said:
“When “When an an unclean unclean spirit spirit goes goes out out of of a a man, man, he he goes goes through through dry dry places, places, seeking seeking rest
rest
and and finds finds none. none. Then Then he he says, says, ‘I ‘I will will return return to to my my house house from from which which I I came.’” came.’” (Matthew
(Matthew
12:43-44)
12:43-44)
Yes, demons do have a will.
4. 4. DEMONS DEMONS HA
HAVE HA
VE VE EMOTIONS
EMOTIONS
We are told in Scripture by James:
“You “You believe believe that that there there is is one one God. God. You You do do well. well. Even Even the the demons demons believe believe – – and
and
tremble!” tremble!” (James (James 2:19)
2:19)
Many times in the course of deliverance, we find a demonic power manifesting by way of
trembling through a person. Their conscience cannot respond to the gospel. Scripture tells us
that:
“...in “...in the the latter latter times times some some will will depart depart from from the the faith, faith, giving giving heed heed to to deceiving
deceiving
spirits spirits and and doctrines doctrines of of demons, demons, speaking speaking lies lies in in hypocrisy, hypocrisy, having having their their own
own
conscience conscience seared seared with with a a hot hot iron.” iron.” (1 (1 Timothy Timothy 4:1-2)
4:1-2)
The Greek makes it clear that it is not speaking of people here but of the demons which cannot
respond to the gospel because their conscience has been seared.
5. 5. THEY THEY CAN CAN SPEAK
SPEAK
As we have already seen, the demons spoke to Jesus:
“I “I know know who who you you are are – – the the Holy Holy One One of of God!” God!” (Mark (Mark 1:24)
1:24)
