Dear ‘Deliverance’ Minister…
The only question Jesus asked before casting a demon out is ‘what is your name’? And He only did that ONCE all through scriptures! But when you want to cast out demon…you will ask:
‘…how old are you’?
‘who are you’?
‘why did you enter him’?
‘when did you enter him’?
‘who is your daddy’?
‘is it chairman or alhaji’?
‘who have you tormented since you entered him’?
‘are you the one that affected the mother too’?
‘what did he do that made you enter him’?
‘what is your next line of action’?
Hmm… Now Listen carefully: the devil is scripturally described as the ‘father of lies’…and a ‘liar from the beginning’! (John 8:44) All he has to tell you are LIES! Even when Jesus said: ‘what is your name’….he responded with numbers…my name is ‘legion’. Legion refers to a division of the Roman army, usually comprising 3000 to 6000 soldiers. Jesus didn’t go beyond that. Only Jesus can handle the devil’s lies.
There is no reference in scriptures that any ‘apostle’ interviewed the devils. All we know is they cast them out! But you are doing ‘who wants to be a millionaire’ with devils. Your job is to ‘cast the devil out’…and not to ‘interview the devil’.
‘…And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, TO CAST THEM OUT, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease…’ (Matt 10:1)
You have the power to cast out…go ahead and CAST OUT! Follow Jesus style:
‘…When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits WITH A WORD and healed all the sick…’ (Matt 8:16)
With a word! In fact, when the devil talks too much, Jesus goes this way:
‘…And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, HOLD THY PEACE, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him…’ (Mark 1:23-26)
The Message Bible will help better:
‘…Jesus SHUT HIM UP: “QUIET! Get out of him!”…’ (Mark 1:24)
As in…no time for interview and discussion! In fact, there was a time Jesus wanted to cast out a demon…and he realized people rushing to watch the show…
‘…When Jesus saw that A CROWD WAS RUNNING TO THE SCENE, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, COME OUT OF HIM AND NEVER ENTER HIM AGAIN…” (Mark 9:25 NIV)
As in…no need for making a open interview show for onlookers. Cast out the stupid devil…and free the oppressed in the name of Jesus Christ.
‘…And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they CAST OUT DEVILS…’ (Mark 16:17)
Be a ‘devil-CASTER’…not a ‘demon-INTERVIEWER’! I hope this met you well.
Amen.
