How To Deal With Demons, Curses, Hexes, Spells and Spiritual ...

as "someone stronger" and overpower him, binding his activities (Matthew 12:29),
neutralizing his weapons (Luke 11:22) and taking back the things he claims ownership
of. (Luke 11:22).
In The Name Of Jesus
(John 14:13-14 NKJV) "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. {14} "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
(John 15:16 NKJV) "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that
you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask
the Father in My name He may give you
(Luke 10:17-19 NRSV) The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, in your name
even the demons submit to us!" {18} He said to them, "I watched Satan fall from
heaven like a flash of lightning. {19} See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you.
(Acts 16:18 NRSV) {18} She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much
annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come
out of her." And it came out that very hour.
The name of Jesus is the delegated authority of the Son of God. In the Gilbert and
Sullivan opera "The Pirates of Penzance" the pirates are arrested and the police say "We
charge you yield in Queen Victoria's name...". They confront the pirates in the delegated
authority of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
When we come against Satan and his demons we can say "We charge you yield in the
name of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords". The
"name that is above every other name" is the ultimate source of authority.
Say the pirates in the opera had answered...we resist in the name of the Pirate
King..then there would have been a clash of authority (in fact they said "we love our
Queen..it was very sarcastic..) In such a clash of authority it is the "highest name" that
wins. A queen outranks a count who outranks knights of the realm that outrank
commoners etc.
So it is in the heavenly realms. Such is the privilege of Christians that we are allowed to
use "the name that is above every other name" when we challenge demonic authority.
We come bearing the highest authority in the Universe.
(Philippians 2:8-11 NKJV) And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled
Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. {9}
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every
name, {10} that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, {11} and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
