I. Introduction

Good day to all! Today, I will be expounding on a rather interesting sermon. Some of you might think it is something you are already very familiar with, but it often ends up becoming mere rhetoric. Today, I must tell you, the topic I am about to delve into is truly remarkable: Casting Out Demons in the Name of Jesus Christ. This act of exorcism in the name of Jesus Christ is no small matter. Although you may have heard it countless times, uttering, In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, you may gradually lose sight of its true meaning. Do you realise the problem? We are constantly invoking the name of Jesus, yet many do not fully grasp its significance. Invoking the name of Jesus Christ is extraordinary, it is a key that unlocks the resources of the Kingdom of Heaven, wielding the imperial sword and thinking, Oh, even demons listen to me. Do not think too highly of yourself; it is because Jesus has bestowed this imperial sword upon you.

Jesus is one of the most significant figures in history. Have you come across Jesus in your historical studies? Let us not dwell on other matters; Jesus holds a prominent place in world history. He is none other than the founder of Christianity, ranked first among the great thinkers: Buddha, Jesus Christ, Lao Tzu, and Confucius – each representing a school of thought. While Jesus is one of the most influential figures in history, when it comes to being the most influential figure in history, there is only Jesus; there is no other. Being able to cast out demons is indeed powerful. Imagine, demons tremble at His command, upon hearing the name of Jesus. The deeds performed by Jesus Christ in this world are unparalleled!

Today, my brothers and sisters, you must understand that the term casting out demons may not sound pleasant to everyone's ears. Why is that? As soon as you mention casting out demons, it is dismissed. However, achievements in aerospace, such as the Shenzhou spacecraft soaring into the heavens, are greatly admired. I must tell you that although casting out demons may sound unappealing, as if it lacks scientific basis, if you are a Christian and unaware of the practice of casting out demons, you are at a great loss. Why? Because the effects of exorcism are beyond your imagination. How do you know this? Because I am engaged in this very work. While there are many pastors in this world, few are adept at casting out demons properly. However, having done this, I know its power. Imagine someone like Jesus engaging in this practice; how could it not be potent? Have you ever seen Jesus lacking in resources? There’s no such thing.

Although casting out demons seems unappealing, I am still searching for a suitable replacement word, which has been difficult to find. However, casting out demons perfectly describes the matter. I must express my gratitude to our Chinese ancestors for their ingenuity. The Chinese language is mighty, providing the term casting out demons to describe this practice. Imagine if the Chinese language lacked the term casting out demons? What would we do? It would be impossible. Therefore, Chinese culture is profound and extensive, with numerous terms to describe various phenomena. The more words and terms you know, the more knowledge you possess. Thus, there are many terms related to demons, such as: evil spirits, demons and monsters, goblins and monsters.

We need to be thankful. Our ancestors were brilliant, inventing all these descriptive terms. However, I have yet to learn them all. I only encountered the term “goblins and monsters” in a song from Journey to the West; I had never seen it before. You should know that there are many different translations of the Bible. Our Chinese translation of the Bible is not too thick, and the font is quite large. However, if the Bible were translated into Korean, it would be a problem. The font would be half the size, but the Bible would be twice as thick. Why? Because there are fewer words. Translating goblins and monsters into Korean would take a long time.

I know a translator who translates between Korean and Chinese. A few days ago, he said to me, If someone speaks in Korean, I can translate it into Chinese immediately. However, if someone speaks in Chinese, I will be unable to keep up. Why? Because one sentence in Chinese requires several sentences in Korean to convey the same meaning; the language is inadequate. Therefore, Chinese culture is rich and diverse. If we were to erase the concept of demons, claiming they do not exist, how would you prove their non-existence? They cannot be proven, which would be nonsense. If you were to eliminate all terms related to demons, you would be unable to accomplish many things. If you are aware of demons but do not know how to cast them out, it would be troublesome; you would often be chased by them.

Therefore, you must know Jesus who casts out demons. If a person does not know demons, it would be a great loss. If they do not know how to cast out demons, it would be an even greater loss. Not knowing Jesus who casts out demons is the greatest loss of all. Suppose you are a businessman; doing business is a very spiritual matter. By casting out demons vigorously, I tell you, your business will prosper. If you labour, casting out demons will make your work flourish. Why? Because work and business are often disrupted by demons. If you have a reputation in the spiritual realm, overcoming all obstacles, everything you do will prosper. Some people are unaware of this, asking if it is true. It is indeed true.

Many people believe that those who cast out demons are ignorant, thinking that those who do not are scientific. However, I believe the opposite is true. Although people's research into science continues to deepen, I believe that in the future, they will inevitably delve into the spiritual realm, because the spiritual realm influences the material world. What is the current state of quantum mechanics? We do not understand it. I heard a great scientist say that the more we study it, the more we find things that are incorrect, approaching the edge of the spiritual realm. There are indeed many scientists approaching the edge of the spiritual realm.

There is a saying in the Chinese Mingding Destiny that I founded that you must know: it only counts if you do it. I dislike empty talk which is deception. It only counts if you do it. Many people I have met in the past would talk without doing, but today, we must know that it only counts if you do it. What I say is what I have done. I have done a lot of casting out demons; I must not lie with my eyes open. As an intellectual who has received so much higher education, I must have a spirit of practice, and I must not lie with my eyes closed.

I have always had a gentle heart. What does it mean to be tender? I often ask, What is this? If I do not understand it, I will try to understand it. What is that? What exactly are its rules? I do not make blind guesses.

My heart is gentle, unlike some who are rigid. It is not surface gentleness that is true gentleness; it is the gentleness of the heart. That rigidity deep in the bones is particularly difficult to deal with. Do not be rigid. For example, I read the Bible. The Bible is the world's best-selling book, including translations. So many people read the Bible, and when I read the Bible, I accept it when Jesus casts out demons, but many people do not accept it, which I find strange. Christians and pastors, casting out demons? There are not so many demons. I ask, how is the Bible read? Rigid hearts. I accept it after reading it, who calls me a Christian?

Like someone with a soft heart like me, I respect the laws of reality, and I do not respect my preconceived notions. I know that there are some prejudices in me, but I am constantly learning and adjusting. Everyone, tell me, with my attitude, if I became a Buddhist, would I understand the Buddhist scriptures very well? Definitely. Who made me a Christian? Whether by accident or misadventure, I came to be a Christian. If I were a Taoist, maybe I would be refining elixirs today, and I might even be able to make elixirs for you to taste. If I were a scientist, I might actually become a good scientist. If I were an engineer, I would be a good engineer. So people say that gold shines wherever it goes, and again I'm being a little boastful.

The gentleness I speak of is good, like the highest good is like water. You put it in a round container, and it turns round. You put it in a square container, and it turns square. So do not make blind guesses; rigidity is meaningless, and you just end up bumping into things and getting hurt. You say I cannot do it, then I cannot do it. You say I can do it, then I can do it. Unlike some people who are so rigid that they believe Jesus Christ is Sakyamuni. Why? Because they are doing things that are more like Sakyamuni. They read the Bible, but they do the work of Sakyamuni.

I was thinking, whether Sakyamuni is good or not? It seems to be a little closer. Why do you do that to believe in Jesus? If I believe in Jesus, I believe in this Jesus who casts out demons. What do you think? There are not many intellectuals who believe in Jesus as I do. Why? Because they accept what they can accept, and they do not accept what they cannot accept. Like me, what I read is what I am, so I follow Jesus. Who does Chinese Mingding Destiny follow? Follow Jesus. How Jesus did it, that's how we do it. Is there a problem with me following Jesus? No problem.

Some people do not follow Jesus, but they come to say that I am a heretic? A pastor who studied me later met me. Why did he meet me? Because he was sure I was not a heretic. Following Jesus, how could doing what Jesus does be so bad? I forgive you if you do not do it as Jesus did, and if I do it as Jesus did, can you not accept me? He later said to me: Many people are studying you, studying whether you are a heretic. I said: Have you studied it? He said: I have also studied it. I said: What is the result of the study? He said: I cannot say that you are a heretic, but it is a bit extreme.

Oh, following Jesus has become extreme, that must be extreme following of Jesus, which is also good. What I mean is that when people learn something, they must respect it. For example, when learning programming, you must respect it. If you say I will not write it that way, there is a database. You are just making troubles for yourself if you do not write it that way. If you can write a program that runs, congratulations, and good luck to you. So when we learn something, we must learn it correctly. When I was a child, if the word was invented by me, points would be deducted, because the word I invented must be a wrong word. We have not invented anything; we are still learning from others.

So stop shortchanging yourself, because casting out demons brings great rewards. Why are Christians like that? When Christians have a check-up, they have cancer. When pastors have a check-up, they have cancer. They think they are doing the right thing, but they are definitely not doing what Jesus did. Like me, I pursue and follow Jesus, and there are still many things that I have not done right. If you do not follow Jesus, especially if you follow Sakyamuni, then you go do it, and it is good if you can do Sakyamuni. Therefore, everything must be practiced in exploration and research. After I practiced it, I became powerful, and this thing is good, a treasure! Why is it a treasure?

Later I found out that many things are evil spirits, and there are so many evil spirits. Some people say why can I not see them? Your eyes are not up to scratch. Your eyesight is not good. Have your eyes checked by God. For example, there was a blind brother who could not see words as big as Yuanxiao, nor words as big as footballs. He looked at a blur. He was sent to God to have his eyes checked, and when he looked at them, they were all demon eyes. I prayed for him and shouted at him. After shouting, he was very happy. I said this person deserved to be beaten.

Then my colleagues and I ministered to him for nine months, and his eyes got better. After his eyes got better, he brought a big box of fruit to see me, and we both cried in each other's arms. Oh, there was one person next to me who always thought that my casting out demons was a farce and nonsense. As a result, he saw this person come from afar with more than 20 pounds of fruit to see me, and who would have nothing to do? He saw me shedding tears and that person shedding tears too. He thought to himself: Oh, his casting out demons is real. How could it be fake? I am so grateful that if I did not cast out demons, I really could not do it.

Another old man came from afar by plane. I went to the airport to pick him up, and it was difficult to get in the car. He was in a wheelchair, his legs were thick, and they were swollen like elephant legs. It was scary! Then I ministered to him. This process was quite long, and there were several battles in the middle. The demons began to manifest when I cast them out, and there was quite a conflict between the two of us. So how did this conflict come about? Why did he have a conflict with me? Because I wanted him to get up and walk, and the demon wanted him to sit in the wheelchair, and he himself wanted to get up and walk, but the demon began to create many problems.

Could the demon escape? Of course, he could not escape, and I rubbed him on the ground. After ministering to him, the old man in his nineties could stand up from the wheelchair and walk around. Of course, when he went out to play, he had to use a wheelchair to walk less and not be so tired. If I did this, do you think it could be solved without casting out demons? Today, I will tell you the truth, offending some people. Anyway, they cannot come to settle the account. If you hear my sermon, go back and study it carefully. I will tell you that the gospel without casting out demons is not the gospel, and Christians without casting out demons do not know if they are Christians.

You must be like Jesus. If you are not like Jesus, what are you like? It is useless to be like Sakyamuni, and it also applies as Sakyamuni. You must know that I do these things wherever I go. If you have done what I have done, I will ask you: Will you regard casting out demons as a treasure? Definitely, your brain is not worse than mine. Your personality is a little worse, but your brain still works. What kind of person have I become today? Today, because of the name of Jesus Christ, I have become a treasure, and I have become a divine person. After experiencing so much, how can I not believe it?

So later, everyone knew that I love God and love Him deeply. Sometimes when I sing with everyone, tears almost come to my eyes when my emotions are stirred. If I said that these signs that I have, there are so many of them. If you read the books I have written, there are so many signs in them. When do I cry? When this person is released from the hands of the devil, the prisoners are released, the oppressed are set free, and tears come to my eyes, because without Jesus Christ, and without relying on the name of Jesus Christ, I can do nothing. Thank God! Without Jesus Christ, how could we live this life?

But there are many people, I have cast out demons from you, and you are experienced, so have you cast out demons? If you have not cast out demons, you will lose a lot. You must not shortchange yourself anymore because I have been talking about casting out demons recently? Because we are going to launch a new climax of casting out demons, and in the spiritual world, and all the devils are trembling, they look around and say: Oh, these people are coming again, help! Who are you calling for? Who can save these devils from the hands of Jesus Christ? No one can save them.

Today, we will once again triumph in the spiritual world, and once again see more people released, the captives released, the oppressed set free, and to start allowing people to have their own choices, he is willing to choose to follow Jesus, thank God. If you are unwilling to choose to follow Jesus, after being released, you can still choose not to be morally kidnapped. Choose whatever you want, and good luck to you. Whoever among us has experienced God, rise up! No longer live in the old way of life. Start knowing about casting out demons, which brings extremely rich rewards!

Casting out demons is not just my business, it is everyone's business. Why? Because I get something when I cast out demons, and you get something when you cast out demons. Think about it slowly, what do you get when I cast out demons? If you see me, I will definitely ask: How many demons have you cast out? If you say you have not cast out demons, then what are you doing in front of me? Practice quickly, so that when I ask you in the future, you will not be so frantic. In the past, we used to ask when we met: Have you eaten? Because we were poor. We do not say that now. From now on, when we meet, we will ask: Have you cast out demons?

Casting out demons is a good thing. There are many myths in it. In the name of Jesus Christ, that is real gold and silver, gold and silver pouring out, casting out demons has its own golden house, and casting out demons has its own beautiful face. Today, I will talk about casting out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Are you a little excited? You say where the demons are? Fever is the fever demon, stomach ache is the stomach ache demon, dysmenorrhea is the dysmenorrhea demon, leg ache is the leg ache demon. Hey, do you think I have made this matter relatively simple? Some people say, what kind of demons are these? It does not matter, and whatever hurts is the demon.

II. Scripture

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on [a] sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. Amen. (Mark 16:15-20)

III. Prayer

I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that every brother and sister among us will rise up to become mighty soldiers; I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that every brother and sister among us will trample on the devil's enemies; in the name of Jesus Christ, release the captives and release the oppressed. This is a victorious church, and we will trample on the enemies of the devil in the spiritual world; in the name of Jesus Christ, I want to declare, the church will move forward again on the road of healing and casting out demons, the captives will be released, the oppressed will be set free; in the name of Jesus Christ, I command the devils to retreat, and the lies of the devils will be torn down. Today, we shall overcome all obstacles in the spiritual world; in the name of Jesus Christ, I will declare again that the kingdom of God will descend among us, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

IV. Background of the Scripture

This passage of Scripture is actually very controversial, because it contains the phrase casting out demons. Some people say that Jesus did not say this, but you do not know whether Jesus said this. So how can we know whether Jesus said this? Actually, no one knows whether Jesus said these words. The problem is, what if we practice this statement and see what happens? I once gave a sermon entitled Why Did Jesus Cast Out Demons? Why did Jesus cast out demons? After you finish reading this gospel, if you have a relatively clear understanding of Jesus, you will say: What Jesus said is not too outrageous, because he is of the same vein. Why did Jesus cast out demons? It is very clearly demonstrated that the Jesus we believe in is Jesus who casts out demons. This verifies that this passage is in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ, and he is of the same vein.

I have a good friend who is a deacon in the church, and that includes the leaders of the members of the congregation. Because he was in a church that did not cast out demons, and he had not cast out many demons himself, one day he printed out the scripture that I read today and posted it at the entrance of their church. As a result, he was fired by the pastor. Not only was he fired by the pastor, but he was also fired by the deacons' meeting, because everyone felt that casting out demons was not right. The demons were not cast out, but they were cast out of the church by the demons, because this church is a group of people who do not believe in casting out demons. Why? Because the demons are in power there, how can they believe in casting out demons? Demons cannot cast out themselves, they are partners. So this is very interesting. The pastor explained that this passage was added later by people. There is nothing wrong with adding it.

If we summarise the life of Jesus, the first thirty years were spent as a carpenter, and the last three and a half years of service were spent training disciples to cast out demons. Did Jesus cast out demons himself? He did, and Jesus cast out many demons himself, and he cast them out quickly. I wonder, when can I be like that? It would be so good if I could be like that. Let us do it slowly, I will not give up personally, and let us practice. So what else did Jesus do? He trained twelve disciples to cast out demons, and later he trained seventy disciples to cast out demons. Later, Jesus was crucified, resurrected, and ascended to heaven.

The context of this passage is about Jesus, before His ascension, gathering with them and rebuking them for their unbelief. Some say, I believe. I ask, What do you believe? They say, I believe Jesus was a good person. Is this a good person religion? No, this is Christianity. What happens as a result? They believe Jesus did good deeds, was a great philanthropist. I say, Your surname is Lee, Lee the great philanthropist. But Jesus, seeing this, rebuked their unbelief, for fear they would mess things up entirely. The definition of this belief was unclear. Jesus defined concepts so clearly; how could Jesus tolerate unclear concepts? So, I will explain it clearly for you, hence the rebuke for their unbelief. What does unbelief mean? We must first clarify what belief means. He said:

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:15-16)

Believe what? This wasn't made clear. Then Jesus elaborated with perfect clarity.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. (Mark 16:17-18)

So, this is how believers are defined. According to this definition, it's a disaster, because many do not believe. I ask you: if Jesus came among us today, entered many of His own churches and saw, would He not say: You unbelieving people, how long must I be with you? Surely, He would say this. Is this a matter of life and death? Absolutely vital! Unbelief, or their belief is not the belief Jesus spoke of. The belief Jesus spoke of is accompanied by signs. Many say the fruit of faith is life. No, the fruit of faith is miracles. You don't need advanced knowledge for this; a primary school graduate can probably draw this conclusion.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, start pondering this: these signs will accompany those who believe. I ask you, what about those who are not accompanied by signs? This miracle thing, if it goes on like this, is quite troubling. Why? Because this miracle thing is also corrupted. I was having dinner with a pastor. I said, Do you have any miracles? He said, Yes, recently I found a website for buying groceries online. Oh dear, is that a miracle? Is a miracle needed for that? It's not even human achievement, let alone a miracle.

Jesus' words are so much better: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. This is what a miracle is! You must read the bible like this; isn't it a matter of life and death when they talk nonsense? Why? Because if they don't cast out demons, they speak according to the logic of not casting out demons. How can you read the bible like that? Everything is messed up. Like Saul, still feeling he is carefully observing and following God's word, saying this is heresy, that is heresy, and he is the righteous one.

Therefore, Jesus rebuked their unbelief, because they had messed up the matter of belief entirely. They thought they believed, but the belief Jesus spoke of was not the belief they spoke of. They were Shakyamuni East, Shakyamuni West, Shakyamuni North, Shakyamuni South, meditating and meditating but never getting to casting out demons. Isn't that problematic? Is the interpretation of this belief clear today? I tell you, if you understand logic, even without deep logic. Are those without miracles believers or unbelievers? So, as many proceed, they end up in the suffering of Shakyamuni, thinking it is suffering for Jesus, but it is not. The suffering of not casting out demons is greater than the suffering of casting out demons.

Five, The Way to Believe in Jesus

After reading this, I like to find evidence in the bible; anything without biblical basis, I usually disregard. Some sermons, you don't know if you're in a history class or a literature class, discussing grammar, discussing words, as if lecturing in Hebrew or Greek. I can't do that. Those are literary scholars; when literary scholars preach the bible, it is a literary scholar's approach. Philosophers preach from a philosophical perspective. I look down on that. Why? I am an engineer, and engineers like to understand the manual.

When engineers buy very complex equipment, after the purchase, they must train me. I feel that their training isn't as good as reading it myself. Why? Training takes five days; I don't have those five days. They keep grinding away for five days; I can't stand it. So, I call their company boss. I say, Mr. So-and-so, could you briefly tell me which button on this equipment needs special attention during operation, which one, if pressed, will cause an explosion or burn up or destroy it? He says, Press any button. That's great. If there are any, I'll note them down, this one needs caution.

Then, I follow the manual and learn. After about three hours of learning, I call the boss again and say, Mr. So-and-so, could your technical staff tell me, I see the manual doesn't match the system. The technical staff says, That part isn’t like that, it's like this. I solved everything with three phone calls within six hours, resolving five days of training. I am efficient because I don't have time, so I can only do it this way. I am a learner; I am an imitator.

Do you all know what it means to be tender-hearted? I don't mess things up blindly. Many things I figure out and then understand the essence of things. People say things should be done this way, so I follow their rules. Programming has programming rules, renovation has renovation rules, design has design rules, everything has its own rules. My way of believing in Jesus is also top-notch. Why? I find it all in the bible, just missing one small thing, which is that I can't call Jesus; I can't get through.

But are there many times when I am troubled? Many times when I don't understand? So, I kneel there and pray. God is a God of revelation. I say, how do I believe in Jesus? Because the things I used to hear in church were full of loopholes and nonsense. I became self-taught, and God truly is a God of revelation. In Chinese Mingding Destiny, if you read what I say, you will find that this kid actually has some skill. Why? Because anything I don't understand, I ask our Lord Jesus Christ, and He truly reveals it.

For example, the first chapter of Genesis. No one understands the first chapter of Genesis better than I do. Why? This comes from the revelation of Jesus Christ. I knelt on the ground for two weeks, praying and seeking God. After receiving the revelation, I jumped and danced in the room, and even my walk was different. I dashed downstairs to the restaurant and had a meal, after being cooped up for two weeks. So, I was very excited because I found the basis for how to believe in Jesus. The way to believe in Jesus is here. Who said this? Jesus said it. These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues. Then you say, where should you drive out demons? Just drive them out, and as you drive them out, the demons will come out. Because when we first established the church, we started driving out demons.

A person with persecution complex came to me. He suspected everyone wanted to kill him, to the point of wanting to jump off a building. As soon as he came, I accepted the case and started practicing. Finally, there was a demon. In the name of Jesus, I drove out the demon. After driving it out, it came back, and I drove it out again, causing me a lot of trouble. I still had to work, but no one managed me at that job. After driving it out in the afternoon, I quickly went back to work. But he came again in the evening, and again the next day at noon. I had worked until four in the morning the first night, too much work to finish. He came again on the third day.

He said, Teacher, please stop driving it out. I said, It's okay, if I can't finish today, I'll do it tomorrow, and if I can't finish tomorrow, I'll do it the day after, and if I can't finish the day after, I'll do it the day after that. He said, How long can you keep this up? I said, Until the demon is driven out. Can driving out demons in the name of Jesus be given up halfway? My faith became very strong, even though I was tender-hearted, I became very strong at that moment. This is not called hard-heartedness; it's called believing in Jesus Christ in my heart, persisting one minute longer than the devil. That's how I started. This is how you believe in Jesus. As a result, he was delivered that day and healed. Don't you think he owes me a favor? Persecution complex is no joke.

That was the first time I drove out a demon, a long time ago. Later, another person came, suffering from unrequited love and was sent to a mental hospital. I spent one hour after another there, but it didn’t matter, I had time. In the name of Jesus, I drove out the demon; the devil must retreat. Later, the demons gave me a nickname: Demon's Nemesis. Once they saw me, they hated me. The devils were upset: How did such a person come into this world? How can someone be so difficult? A Demon's Nemesis, so whenever there's a demon, I accept the case and get excited.

I don't have any hobbies. People ask, What are your hobbies? I don't know, driving out demons! People play video games; I play with demons. Bang, I get into the ring and practice with the demons. Are there times when I get hurt while wrestling with demons? Yes, but it doesn't matter. I have finally found a hobby. I don't like playing video games or mahjong. What do I do with so much time? I play games with demons. These are real battles. The way to believe in Jesus is like this: in the name of Jesus, drive out demons; speak in new tongues; pick up snakes with your hands; and if you drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt you at all; place your hands on the sick, and they will get well.

If you talk about laying hands on the sick, then lay hands. It's all practiced this way. Look at Bruce Lee and Ip Man, with their wooden dummies at home, practicing with their hands, practicing kung fu. If you don't practice, you'll be knocked out. What do you practice? You practice faith. Entangling with devils plays on the faith in Jesus Christ. Without faith, you can't play. Today, brothers and sisters, lift up your faith. Our Jesus Christ is a demon-driving Jesus Christ yesterday, today, and forever. Amen!

Six, Casting Out Demons is Paramount

Jesus said: These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons. I ask you: why is casting out demons listed first? Why not doing good deeds in the name of Jesus? Doing good deeds would ruin it! Casting out demons is the first thing mentioned. I ask you: does Jesus have nonsense? No nonsense. If I want to teach others something, I will make sure to clarify the important things. Even if I clarify them, it may not be well implemented. Without clarifying it, it will definitely be nonsense. Therefore, casting out demons is paramount. Why? Because it is the first thing Jesus said. Surely, the most important is first, the second and third most important are later. My analysis is different from others. They read and say, The bible is written incorrectly. How could it be written incorrectly? I read it and say, Ah, casting out demons!

You say, I am an intellectual who preaches about casting out demons all day long. The boss comes and asks, What did you do yesterday? I say, Boss, I'm sorry, I was casting out demons. How can you say that? You can't. Saying casting out demons makes your mouth tremble. Wouldn't people call me a religious fanatic? Then I take the risk of being a religious fanatic. An intellectual, a senior executive casting out demons, becoming a religious fanatic, but it doesn't matter. People call me a religious fanatic, a religious nut, a Christian. They are all praising me; it's all good. I am a serious person. How can I not listen to what Jesus says? If I don't even dare to take on the title of a religious fanatic, what can I do? Nothing. If I can't even take this risk, then forget it.

Casting out demons is paramount. So, in our church, when things were not completely victorious, the Sunday meals were abundant, people were still eating braised beef. At that time, we started casting out demons. Thank God, with my approach, the devils could not do anything to me. I ask you, can the devils do anything to me now? They can't. Why? Because I drive out demons in the name of Jesus with a basis. This is what Jesus said. I am not afraid of opposing anyone, except opposing God. Let me be a religious fanatic. They always feel what I preach is not very credible, but what I do is credible.

Seven, Casting Out Demons in Jesus' Name

We often have a misconception: I have cast out so many demons, what will happen if I don't believe in the Lord in the future? Actually, many people have cast out many demons with me in the past and are doing quite well after leaving God. Why? Once you don't cast out demons in the name of Jesus, you are with the demons, and the demons are overjoyed. They are only afraid that God will deal with you. So, don't fear demons; fear God. What I say is true. Many people who have cast out demons with me are living well now, having several children, going to work, getting off work, raising children, setting up tents at the beach, having picnics, and they are very happy without casting out demons. It's good, but you don't know when the devil will take your life. Why will the devil take your life? Because God sent the devil. So, you must fear God.

Why must you cast out demons in the name of Jesus? This is a matter of authority. All authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth belongs to my Lord Jesus Christ. Do you want it? If you want to cast out demons, God will surely give it to you. You will find that this has little to do with your life, do you know why? We actually have some opinions about Peter, which are quite objective. But Peter and the other disciples weren't that great either. Before Jesus was crucified, they were still arguing about who was the greatest, just at that level. But they cast out demons, and the demons listened to them. Jesus trained twelve disciples to cast out demons, and seventy-two disciples to cast out demons. Those people's lives were not great. Why could they still cast out demons when their lives were not great? Because they were casting out demons in the name of Jesus, not in your name.

Some people say, I cast out demons in the name of Teacher Liu. Don't do that to me, let me go; it doesn't work. Why? It is casting out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Believers don't even need to be at the level of disciples. As long as you are a believer, you can cast out demons. Otherwise, try it, and start believing in Jesus and casting out demons. Don't be afraid; you don't need to fear demons. Demons are under God's control. All authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth belongs to Jesus Christ. You must fear God. So, this is a matter of authority. Holding the imperial sword is certainly effective. Jesus Christ's name is praised in heaven and on earth, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Amazing!

How did you have this fate to know Jesus Christ? How did you read the bible so clearly, reading about the demon-driving Jesus Christ? I have positive feelings about myself. Thanks to God. How did I understand this matter? Good Chinese, well-written characters, clear, well-translated, written clearly, all combined together, plus a person like me, and I understood it. So, the past so many years left a blank for me, and I filled in this blank. I said, God, who am I, that I should have this grace?

Brothers and sisters, keep walking, casting out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. This is a matter of authority; use it well. If you want to cast out demons, you must establish a church, but some people who do not establish a church can also cast out demons because they are doing it in Jesus Christ's name. This is another important, paramount matter, and also a very small matter. Don't misunderstand, casting out demons is important because it is fundamental, but it is not necessarily big. Casting out demons is a small matter, but it is a very fundamental matter.

Having spoken to this point, I want to say cast out demons in Jesus' name. I don't know if I have made it clear. If I have made it clear, please cooperate today. Whether they are evil spirits or monstrous creatures, just drive them out. Spider spirits, Pansi Cave, Flaming Mountain, Banana Fan, it doesn't matter. Today, God has given us the resources in the kingdom of heaven. Those who are willing to practice, who are willing to work with me in Jesus Christ according to God's word, arise and become mighty warriors of casting out demons! In this generation, stomp three times in the spiritual world, and heaven and earth will shake because we have stomped these three times. The devil's throne will be completely torn down, and the devil's actions will be completely removed because we have become elite soldiers of Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ.

Not only do we cast out demons, but we must also record our names in heaven, acting according to the words of Jesus Christ. Casting out demons is the word of Jesus Christ. Establishing a glorious church and building the body of Jesus Christ is the command of Jesus Christ. When we put these truths together, we know that God has given us great grace. He has given us the imperial sword in our hands. Start using it today, start training from scratch, eliminate the small demons first, then eliminate the larger ones, whatever comes and goes, eliminate them! Then charge upwards step by step, until we strike down Satan - the devil, the enemy, making the devil, the enemy, return five oxen for one ox, four sheep for one sheep, and become God's victorious people. Amen! May God bless everyone!

We will sing a hymn in preparation for today's offering. If you do not understand the meaning of offering, please do not give because the church is not a place to collect money. The church is a place to cast out demons, a place to distribute blessings, and a place to make our lives victorious. Build God's glorious church, trample the devil, the enemy, become God's mighty warriors, and become God's victorious elite soldiers.

Prepare the offering at this time, and raise your hands with me. I will say a sentence, and you say it with me: God, may You accept my offering. God, I am willing to imitate You, imitate Jesus Christ, and grow into the likeness of the Son of God. God, today I will be raised up by God, raised up by You, to be an elite soldier of Your kingdom, to set the captives free, and to release the oppressed. This is my mission; this is my Mingding Destiny in God's kingdom. God, may You use me, and may You continue to do the work of molding on me, removing everything that is worldly and fleshly, so that I can truly believe in You, cast out demons in Jesus Christ's name, release the captive and the oppressed, pray in Jesus Christ's name, amen!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen!

May God bless everyone!
