Introduction

Brothers and sisters, good day. Today, we embark on a new series named The Miracles Series. The first lecture of The Miracles Series is Casting Out Demons in the Name of Jesus Christ, or Casting Out Demons in the Name of the Lord. Why revisit this time and again? Because I feel that we are not casting out enough demons. Some may ask, haven't we cast out so many demons already, do we still need to cast out more? You might think we have cast out quite a few, but I believe it is not enough, far from enough.

This matter is crucial. Why? Because I do not see the brothers and sisters living out that glorious life. There's always a sense of wickedness, indicating that not enough demons have been cast out. I tell you, casting out demons is an essential component of miracles. This generation desperately needs a powerful gospel.

Someone once said: If you remove miracles from the Bible, only the cover and back would remain. Genesis is a miracle, Exodus is a miracle, all are incredible miracles of God. If you remove all of these – Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy – even Revelation cannot be kept. Wouldn't only the cover and back remain?

Today, the words I speak and the sermons I preach are not based on persuasive words of wisdom, but on the demonstration of the Spirit's power. This is Chinese Mingding Destiny echoing the words of Apostle Paul. Our God is a God who performs miracles and delivers. Those struggling in darkness, in pain, in poverty and hardship all have hope. Do brothers and sisters know how important miracles are? From a human perspective, we cannot see any hope, unless a miracle happens, then there is hope.

Whether in the New Testament or the Old Testament, miracles are the acts of God and are a key component of the Bible. However, over the past thousand years of church history, theology has gradually evolved into philosophy. A powerful gospel has become a powerless philosophy, engaging in Scriptural interpretation.

They say: We interpret Scripture with Scripture. But what can be interpreted? They say: Healing and deliverance are no longer needed today. Who said that? Look at those developed countries, the autistic, the demon-possessed, the depressed – they are increasing.

I ask you, who changed this gospel? It is the devil. The enemy loves to transform this powerful gospel that can trample on the enemy into a powerless gospel. This is what the devil loves to do. Today, understand that a powerless gospel is not a gospel at all; a powerless gospel is a modified gospel. I tell you, those who preach this gospel and believe in it will suffer harm themselves.

When children fall sick, they go to the hospital; when you fall sick, you go to the hospital; when pastors fall sick, they go to the hospital. When did the Bible teach us to do this? Do you think going to the hospital is prestigious? They think it is very prestigious. Thank God for giving me a good doctor. But if you remove one tumor, what if another grows? It is just a disturbing matter.

A pastor had heart disease and went to the hospital for surgery. Did the demon leave after the heart surgery? No, the spirit of death moved to another place, to the anus. He developed colon cancer and had it removed again. Did the demon leave? No. How much suffering do you think this entails? I am very touched. Jesus Christ is a demon-casting Jesus Christ, isn't He? Should we emulate Him? We should. And He explicitly instructed us, let me read it to you, Mark 16:14-20:

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up snakes; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:14-20)

I have a friend who helped me when I was in difficulty; he is a very lovely brother. He printed a small stack of cards in a traditional church, with the verses from Mark 16:14-20, and distributed them to the brothers and sisters of the church at the church entrance. He was a deacon in the church. He printed many and distributed them in the church, but the pastor saw it and objected.

Is there a problem with distributing the words of the Bible in the church? No, there is no problem. The pastor objected because he did not believe in casting out demons. Casting out demons? That's nonsense. What age are we living in? How far has science advanced? Can science solve the problem of demons? To this day, science cannot solve the problem of demons. The problem of demons is just that, a problem of demons. Can science solve it?

Some people believe in science, get ALS, and then spend much time studying science. I think it's a bit foolish. They should study the spiritual realm, and after studying the spiritual realm, eliminate the demons, then the ALS would be cured, wouldn't it? No, they must study science. Alas, science is very unscientific; spiritual science is the true science.

When I was seeking, someone brought me to a traditional church. That church was very zealous, driving me to their church and driving me back after the service. I listened, but there was no power at all. When I fell ill, they introduced me to doctors. I was already poor, and the doctor was expensive. I had opinions about them, saying: Can you introduce me to someone cheaper? This is too expensive, how can I afford it?

A lot of theories, philosophies, and psychology. If you are sick, they can introduce you to a doctor. What if I am unlucky? I would slowly be unlucky, what to do? It's useless. So later I didn't bother going. There was nothing there, just wasting time listening until my head was spinning.

Thank God, I started looking myself. I looked for everything, temples and churches. I wanted to find a church that could turn an unlucky person into a blessed person, where the days of bad luck would end. Then I arrived at a demon-casting church. God truly favored me, leading me to a demon-casting church. This church was too good, my heavens! Casting out demons was so interesting.

Speaking of casting out demons, it's a very miraculous thing in the church. Someone went to church with me. Everyone entered the church and found a corner. Newcomers were taken to a place to drink coffee. My friend and I were both newcomers, and we chatted. We chatted very well. I was unlucky, and he was unlucky too, but his misfortune was much greater.

Because he was still very superstitious when he went to church. A big man dressed in all red, and his car and chairs were all red. He put in a lot of effort. Why? Because the people at the temple told him to use red to ward off evil. So he bought this 万 symbol and won a lot of money, then bought a lot of properties. From then on, the demons came to his door, haunting him every night, preventing him from closing his eyes. When I met him, he hadn't slept much for three months and was in a daze.

He told me these stories. My heavens, that's scary. Casting out demons! The church took us to cast out demons. At that time, I was prejudiced against casting out demons, but it didn't matter. When you are unlucky, you dare to try anything; a desperate patient will try any cure. I tell you, even drinking cold water would cause toothaches. What happened? Good heavens! It was too good. The days of bad luck ended, and the days of blessing began.

Then when I read the Bible, wow, the Bible is truly a demon-casting Jesus. I tell you, when you are unlucky, you rent a house, pay a deposit, and the landlord doesn't let you move in and doesn't return the deposit. Isn't that unlucky? You encounter a scammer. You can't find a job, and then you get sick. Alas, I tell you, everything that shouldn't be there is there, and everything that should be found cannot be found. It was so miserable.

Alas, sick again, short of money again, and no job. It was too hard. I tell you, not a single resume sent out received a reply. Isn't that unlucky? You look for a job and can't find one, not even an interview. Isn't that evil? It turned out that the Jesus in the Bible is the demon-casting Jesus; it turned out that the Jesus in the Bible is the life-changing Jesus. I tell you, this is my incomplete method of induction, but it works for everyone I serve.

I tell you, if you are a Christian and still unlucky, there might be a small problem。Why? When you seek, your past transgressions have been covered by the blood of Jesus. Now you come to seek earnestly. But once you become a Christian, you have to adjust, because a Christian's misfortune comes from God, so you must learn to please God.

Later, when I read the Bible, I discovered that I had already started reading the Bible desperately at that time. Jesus trained twelve disciples to go out to cast out demons, heal the sick, cast out demons, heal the sick. Did you understand? Then He trained seventy disciples to go out to heal the sick, cast out demons, heal the sick, and preach the gospel. This affected me deeply. Casting out demons solves problems, it really solves problems. Later, those demons even listened to the disciples of Jesus Christ.

Actually, do you think the disciples of Jesus Christ were very spiritual? Forget it! Jesus was about to be crucified, and they were still arguing about who was the greatest, who would be the left prime minister, and who would be the right prime minister. I'll be the left prime minister, you be the right prime minister. No, I'll be the right prime minister, you be the left prime minister. That's all they were doing. What life are they living? The loopholes in their lives were huge. Their whole bodies were like sieves, full of holes, very flawed.

But why did the demons listen to them? Because they invoked the name of Jesus Christ. So when the disciples could not cast out demons, the Lord Jesus criticized them for their little faith, criticized them for their unbelief. Today, I tell you, if Jesus came among us, He would definitely criticize us for our little faith, criticize us for our unbelief. Many things are caused by unbelief. Why? Because faith will bear fruit. What is the fruit of faith? The fruit of faith is miracles; faith can manifest God's power.

Many times, some people, especially in traditional churches, if they do not cast out demons and do not solve problems, that's fine. But then they say: This pastor just likes to pursue miracles. I say: Then you try pursuing one. Do you obtain miracles by pursuing miracles? I pursue faith! I believe according to Jesus's requirements! I believe, and then miracles naturally follow me.

There are so many miracles I have performed, so many healings and deliverances I have done, that it would take three days and three nights to finish talking about them. It's just a simple belief, very simple, extremely simple. These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; it is not me but the name of Jesus.

If the Lord Jesus were to appear to us today, I guess the first thing He would say is: This unbelieving generation! How long must I stay here with you? You men of little faith, why have you turned this gospel into a powerless gospel? People do not believe, they do not believe the word of God.

The brothers and sisters in the church are eager for this powerful gospel to be restored. Like some brothers and sisters who came to us from traditional churches. Originally, you wanted to stay faithfully in that church, but after you told your pastor about the powerful gospel, you offended him. Have you had this experience? It's very common.

Why did I become a demon-casting pastor? Brothers and sisters, don't think that I like to cast out demons. I cast out demons to solve problems. Aren't you worried about so many unlucky people? It's like when I was unlucky, I was anxious. Aren't you worried about so many sick people and demon-possessed people? I am worried.

For example, how do you deal with depression? Do you send them to a mental hospital? Then in the mental hospital, their nerves are paralyzed. Can that solve any problem? It can't solve any problem. Speaking of mental hospitals, I have been there many times. I released the people I knew inside. They had depression, were possessed by demons, and after casting out the demons, they came out of the mental hospital.

Besides casting out demons, other methods are basically useless. If you have a heart of flesh inside, and there is still a little bit of God's grace and mercy, aren't you worried? I am worried. Some people are worried but have no solution. I am worried and must find a solution. I thought of a solution: casting out demons! I thank God that everything I have encountered has become my grace. By the Spirit of God, I cast out demons, and the kingdom of God comes! Casting out demons is God's grace and mercy! Casting out demons is an important component of the gospel! Casting out demons is the beginning of setting people free and giving them liberty!

Some time ago, a sister met someone who added her as a friend. She didn't know where the person got her information, but they started chatting. That person was a preacher of Scriptural interpretation. The sister met someone who was very enthusiastic, but preached a gospel that was not true. They thought that Scriptural interpretation was the gospel. It's absurd, preaching a powerless gospel.

This sister used to have depression and came among us more than ten years ago. I cast out the demons, and she was healed. Then she started chatting with that person. I said: Go chat and ask what the situation is. As a result, she was blacklisted. Because she asked right away: Can Scriptural interpretation solve problems? That is truly an engineer's faith. If it can't solve problems, what do you want to solve? What do you want to do? Scriptural interpretation? I haven't read many scriptures, how can I have time for these things?

Today I must tell you: Casting out demons can experience the reality of the spiritual realm; casting out demons can experience the mercy of God; casting out demons can let the kingdom of God come; casting out demons can let our faith be put into practice; casting out demons can set the bound free and liberate the oppressed; casting out demons is the requirement of Jesus Christ; casting out demons can restore the glorious image of God.

I have met several pastors from charismatic churches, and they said to me: Do you know? Casting out demons is useless. I was a little scared when I heard that. What Jesus said is nonsense, is that what you mean? Jesus said to cast out demons, and they said casting out demons is useless. Why? Because they come back after you cast them out.

Ha! It's easy for me. If they come back after I cast them out, I'll cast them out again. I can't deal with you? If I cast out a small one, a medium one comes, if I cast out one, a big one comes. So what? Bring your boss here, bring your leader here.

I tell you, all kinds of heresies are not the words of the Bible. As a result, these pastors who had cast out demons were later chased by demons. After I saw their tragic fate, I made up my mind: We cannot walk that path. It's troublesome to be chased by demons after casting them out. After casting out demons, one has to continue casting them out, never giving demons a chance to chase us.

Brothers and sisters, know that all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth has been given to my Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus wants to send us out into all the world, to make all nations disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Disciples are demon-casting disciples. Every disciple must become a demon-casting disciple, going out into all the world to make all nations disciples of the Lord, demon-casting disciples, trampling on the enemy and shaking the dark power of the devil.

This gospel is the gospel of the living, the gospel of solving people's problems; this gospel is the gospel of changing people's destinies, letting each of us become princes and princesses. Why has someone changed this gospel? Because they don't want to solve problems. Really, without this mercy, you are just preaching a philosophy, and what use is philosophy? It is constantly being explained, to rationalize this powerless gospel.

This gospel is the gospel that gives people hope. Before the days of decline and old age arrive, seize the time to cast out more demons and live out the image of God. There was an old pastor. When I believed, he was already quite old. He was originally a lawyer. He took his child to the beach for vacation. From then on, his child's character changed drastically. When he reached eighteen or nineteen years old, the pastor suddenly realized that he needed to cast out demons, and he cast out the demons in his son.

Then this pastor wrote a book called Spiritual Authority. He brought the demon-casting movement to Singapore. He went to the most famous church in Singapore, which was haunted. After he arrived at that church, he looked up and saw that the ceiling was full of demons. Then he started to cast out demons there, and many people were released. The church I went to was also influenced by him and became a demon-casting church.

That pastor was a very famous pastor who brought the charismatic movement to Singapore. Later, I thought he was dead, but when I checked online, he was still alive not long ago, over a hundred years old. I watched some of his videos, and the old man was vigorous and very energetic. I was very influenced. I said: My heavens, casting out demons has such benefits? I can't miss this.

That pastor cast out demons for about sixty years, and over a hundred years old, the Spirit of God was particularly strong in him. When he entered the church, walking from the middle aisle to the stage to preach, the people on the benches on both sides began to manifest. I thought this was interesting. Sometimes he was eating in a coffee shop, and the person next to him, from far away, would pop and fall down. He was very powerful.

I was thinking: Yes, I started serving around the same age as him. When I reach a hundred years old, how powerful will that be, casting out demons for a lifetime. This gospel is the power of God to save everyone who believes. We reiterate casting out demons. Don't think you are doing well. You are far from doing enough.

That old pastor, over a hundred years old, is named Bill Subritzky. He is famous. Then you are far behind him. Is it enough? Not enough. Let us strive to pursue it. Let the power of Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead, also be manifested in us. I tell you, the problems in our homes, the problems at work, the problems in life, the problems in the church, and the problems in serving are closely related to this.

Our brothers and sisters are too weak, terribly weak. This is not to attack you, but to motivate you. Don't think you are already very good. What's good about you? You are not good at all. There are still many areas where we need to work hard. We must strive to pursue.

Scripture

Read today's scripture, Mark 16:14-19.

**Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up snakes; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen! (Mark 16:14-20)**

Touching, isn't it? Confirming the word through the accompanying signs, unlike today's Scriptural interpretation. Interpreting the Tao Te Ching with the Tao Te Ching, interpreting the Buddhist Scriptures with the Buddhist Scriptures, interpreting the Christian Bible with the Christian Bible – all can be self-consistent, but they are useless. What proves it? The accompanying signs that confirm the word.

Prayer

God, today let us once again unleash a wave of demon casting. Let this group of brothers and sisters be stirred up again, that we can trample on the enemy. Whether at home, at work, in church service, or in any place, let the ground our feet tread shake the power of the devil.

God, today let the power that raised you from the dead also be manifested among us. In the name of Jesus Christ, we declare: We will constantly restore the image of Jesus Christ. We yearn to be more and more like God, more and more like my Lord Jesus Christ, more and more like the Apostle Paul. Lord, fulfill our desires today, let us become those who strive to pursue. In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Scripture Background

After Jesus Christ resurrected, He appeared more than once, He appeared many times. Some people, after He appeared, returned home with doubts: Did I really see Jesus? Am I hallucinating? Why does it feel so strange? Some people said: I saw Jesus, I saw Jesus resurrected. As a result, the reaction of the eleven disciples was: Do you have photos? No pictures, no truth, pictures for truth. There were no cameras at that time. Even if there were cameras, they couldn't take pictures.

So these eleven disciples, they just did not believe. As a result, they were sitting around chatting. What were they chatting about? I reckon one of the disciples said he had seen Jesus. Rubbish. Another also said he had seen Jesus. Don't listen to him. Jesus was nailed to the cross and buried, wasn't he? Buried. So, where's the body? Wasn't he resurrected? Didn't the officials say someone stole his body? Did you steal it? No. Did you? Neither did I.

Ah, everyone was perplexed, utterly confused, refusing to consider the resurrection. When Jesus was alive, before he was nailed to the cross, he told them he would rise on the third day. What kind of brain is this? Jesus often asked, Do you understand? We understand. Jesus looked at them, blinked, Understand what? If you understood, it wouldn't be like this.

Jesus then appeared to them, suddenly came. And the first thing he did was rebuke their unbelief. You've followed me for over three years. What exactly do you believe in? Didn't I tell you I would rise on the third day? Still doubting if it's true? Isn't it true right here? You rascal, is it true or not?

Hardness of heart! I tell you, Christians can easily become rigid, thinking of nothing, just receiving the things of this world according to what they can accept. Just like that. So they didn't believe those who saw him after his resurrection. I tell you, if a person has no faith, doesn't believe in Jesus, it's really difficult.

The Lord 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. It is this word believe that is so vexing. I've noticed many people say, I believe in Jesus. But I find that their believe and my believe are not the same word. I don't know if theirs has an extra stroke or mine is missing a dot, but how come their believe can be interpreted as chaos?

Jesus was afraid they would misinterpret it. Even today, many Christians also misinterpret. I believe in Jesus, I'm saved once I believe. Whoever believes and is baptized, I was baptized in 2012, received grace and salvation. What kind of logic is this? Salvation is unknown, belief is unknown, unbelief is unknown.

Thankfully, Jesus said this, I'll read it to everyone: And these signs will accompany those who believe. If there are no signs accompanying, then it's unbelief. Is that how it's interpreted? What are these signs of belief? 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 belief! This is belief!

What kind of belief is the belief Jesus spoke of? Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, belief is these signs will accompany those who believe! God uses His own presence to confirm your belief. If you believe, God will be with you. What kind of belief do you have today? You probably believe Jesus is with Teacher Liu, but it's better if Jesus is with you. That is belief, driving out demons in the name of the Lord Jesus. But why can't such straightforward words be understood? Because of hardness of heart.

Belief is this kind of belief, and such belief will surely be saved. What is being saved? This is all called being saved. If you cast out demons, can you not be saved? So Jesus issued a Great Commission, called Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. This gospel is the gospel of casting out demons, the gospel of speaking in new tongues, the gospel of handling snakes, the gospel of drinking poison and not being harmed, the gospel of laying hands on the sick and they will recover. Amen! Such a good gospel has been ruined by them, I am quite moved by it.

A pastor visited a sister, whose pig was sick. Pastor, our pig is sick. The pastor looked at the sick pig and thought: I can't even handle people's illnesses, how can I handle a pig's illness? So he raised his hands to pray: God, if you are willing to heal these pigs, then heal them; if you are not willing to heal these pigs, then let them die. Then he left. A miraculous thing happened, the pig got well.

One day the pastor got sick, and the sister went to visit the pastor, raising her hands to pray: God, if you are willing to heal this pastor, then let this pastor get well; if you are not willing to heal this pastor, then let him die. The pastor said: Why are you praying like that? The sister replied: I learned it from you. Oh my goodness, the learning has become like this.

Why did Jesus say, And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons, and put driving out demons first? Why isn't the first one laying hands on the sick, and the last one driving out demons? No, driving out demons comes first. Why? Because driving out demons is related to the coming of the Kingdom of God. You drive out demons by the Spirit of God, and the Kingdom of God comes there. Driving out demons is recognizing the spiritual realm, knowing the exceeding riches of the glory of the name of Jesus Christ, and the exceeding greatness of His power.

Driving out demons is the simplest and most straightforward work. In the name of Jesus, go away! Who can't say it? Everyone can say it. Does it need to be very complicated? It doesn't need to be complicated. It's the simplest and most straightforward work. And it solves problems, it really solves problems. Don't think your problems are solved because you are good enough, your life is good. Your life is still quite rotten, but your problems are solved, that's God's grace to you, that's showing God's mercy and grace.

This is the great power of the gospel, driving out demons! I tell you, all authority in heaven and on earth and under the earth has been given to my Lord Jesus Christ. We are the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We take up this authority to trample the devil and the enemy. Today, the problems in your home, the problems with your children, the problems with your business, the problems with your work, are all related to driving out demons. How well are you driving out demons? You're doing it terribly!

Driving out demons is so important. Today I'll discuss driving out demons again. I hope that among us, problems can be solved again through driving out demons. Demons can no longer hide. Demons cannot continue to do destructive work in your home. Demons cannot continue to corrupt you, nor can they corrupt your children. Demons cannot corrupt your body. Do you understand?

Arise! Don't wait for Jesus to appear to you and say, Unbelief? Why is your heart so hard? Let our Lord Jesus be satisfied. Look! This is a group of believers! This is a group of demon-drivers! This is a group of tongue-speakers! This is a group who can pick up snakes with their hands! This is a group who lay hands on the sick and they get well, who drink poison and are not harmed! So good. I long for this generation, when Jesus appears to us, for our faith to be commended.

Driving Out Demons Is the Kingdom of God Coming

Those who interpret Scripture with Scripture, their interpretations are not as clear as ours. Why? Because our interpretations are so clear. What did Jesus say? If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Isn't this the word of God? It is the word of God. Have you read it? You haven't read it. Always the Lord's Prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. God says, Give it a rest. My will being done on earth as it is in heaven, hasn't even been done in you, you're just reciting textbooks.

So everyone needs to know that, truly connected, driving out demons is not just driving out demons as one thing. Driving out demons is the coming of the Kingdom of God! That is spiritual warfare! Look, this devil and enemy, who controls the powers of darkness, will once again be trampled under our feet. This is spiritual warfare! Whenever demons are driven out, that place belongs to the Kingdom of God.

Think about it, is the place occupied by the Japanese devils yours? That's not yours. Only when the Japanese devils are driven away, then we have recovered it. If you don't drive out demons, do you think they will leave on their own? No way. They won't leave on their own. So driving out demons is the Kingdom of God coming. How does driving out demons let the Kingdom of God come? It's because the demons have become illegal in this place.

Why are people defiled? Because people have demons in them. Why are people filthy? Because they have demons in them. Why is there an evil force in people's minds? Because people have demons in them. I tell you today, even among our pastors, do you think they are fine? They are fine in front of you, but they still need to have demons cast out in front of me. That evil force comes and acts like that. You say, How come I haven't seen that evil force? There are many things you haven't seen. I've seen quite a few.

So brothers and sisters, if we have an evil force in us, get rid of it, it's a demon. If we have problems in our homes, those problems are all behind demons. Thank the Lord, keep driving them out! In the coming period, let signs and wonders accompany us. Let the logic in our brains become the logic of Jesus Christ. Let the logic in our brains become the logic of God's Word. Those who minister, constantly recover the promised land.

The other day a co-worker said to me, Teacher, I drew a card for myself. I said, What card? He smiled at me strangely and said, Got the Promised Land. I said, That's right. You have a lot of unobtained land. You still have to drive out the demons, recover that unobtained land, and let the Kingdom of God come.

Driving Out Demons Is an Important Part of the Gospel

Remember, driving out demons is an important part of this gospel. What is this gospel? This gospel is that the captives are set free, and the oppressed are liberated. So I ask you, those who interpret Scripture with Scripture, whom have you set free? People are quite free. You make people unfree. Can demons be seen when driving them out? I tell you, some people never see demons in their whole lives. They only see those unfortunate people, only see those who are sick, but don't see the demons. In fact, many things are all demons behind them.

Many who are oppressed by demons, who are taken captive by demons, today will be released through driving out demons, so that the captives can be set free, the oppressed can be liberated, and people can obtain the benefits of this gospel. So we are not preaching a religion, nor are we recruiting people into a religion. We are giving people the benefits of the gospel. Don't preach religion. Give people the benefits of the gospel. If people want it, they can have it. If they don't want it, then forget it.

What is this gospel? This gospel is God's grace and mercy. I tell you, you are not good enough, but you believe. You are not good enough, but you believe, and you will get better and better. Because you believe, you can follow the church and drive out the demons on you. It's not because you are good enough, it's grace. Driving out demons is a huge grace. Without driving out demons, what do you say we do? There's no way. Apart from driving out demons, it's just driving out demons.

Many parents like to use lectures to persuade their children. It's useless. If the child is willing to believe, Ah, this is a demon! Mom and son drive out demons together! You have so much time for reading and going to school, don't you have time to drive out demons? Massive prayer will surely bring release. After release, there will surely be blessings. The unlucky days will pass. Otherwise, these unlucky days will follow you like a shadow. Don't wait until you're old to remember, Oh my, I'm so old, only now do I remember to drive out demons. All my good youth has been wasted.

When you see brothers and sisters being oppressed, are you worried? Sometimes you are worried, but you don't know how to exert your strength. Why? People don't want it. How can we exert our strength? We can't exert our strength. But if they want it, we still have to spend a lot of effort to drive out the demons. After we drive them out, we have to teach them spiritual truths, and we have to teach them this and that. Oh, this is a lot of work. After all this work, many people think that this is pretty good, that this is enough. In fact, this is a terrible thing.

After I am pretty good, I pat my butt and leave. Sometimes I pat my head and leave. I don't need this kind of learning anymore. I don't need a church that pays such a price. Is this paying a price? It's not. This is receiving grace, until we are like Jesus, and we don't stop pursuing. Driving out demons is an important part of the gospel! This is us using authority, using the benefits of the gospel, the authority of the gospel. This is a very important working level.

Driving Out Demons Is Basic Training for Disciples

Do you want to exercise faith? To exercise faith, driving out demons is the best exercise. If your faith is not strong, demons know it, God knows it, people know it, and the dogs on the street know it. If your faith is not strong, you really can't deal with demons. If your faith is not good, if your state is not good, signs don't follow you, and demons don't leave. So if you want to exercise faith, the best exercise is driving out demons.

Today we have a deeper understanding of the problems on us. The best advice I can give you is to drive out demons. If you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, the first training you receive is driving out demons. Recently, we have been discussing some introductory ministries. Thankfully, that introductory ministry is called 003. We are preparing to do a 002, downgraded, which is to train people to pray, to improve the foundation of prayer.

You don't need to participate in 102 training yet. 102 is a very in-depth logical system of healing and deliverance. You only need to learn to pray, imitate prayer, and we are hosting this. Later I thought, this 002 is not right, let's do a 001, 001 will lower the requirements a bit. When you go to 102, your prayer will already be very powerful. But this prayer is not playing with sentence-making or writing essays.

Some people when they pray, oh my goodness, it's different for an hour, and the people next to them are annoyed: After you finish praying, what do we pray? Many people are comparing this. What are we comparing? We are comparing the exercise of faith. Where is faith? It's in driving out demons. You will find that you don't need too much sophisticated technology, too much sophisticated Bible knowledge. You only need to know how to pray, have faith, and you will find, Ah, the demons listen to me too.

So is it simple? It's simple. When it comes to the 102 ministry, you then study the practical system of healing and deliverance. Faith needs to be exercised! Today, our brothers and sisters have an evil force in them. For example, as soon as they do something, that evil force comes up and opens the refrigerator. You have to be determined: Ah, this is a demon.

Two hours, three hours passed, the refrigerator is empty, the book is still on the same page, the refrigerator is empty, the head is still empty. You thought that after the refrigerator is full, the head will be filled? No. So what to do? This is a demon, I need to drive out demons. Do you understand? You need to drive out demons.

Those who don't study well need to drive out demons. Those who are not focused when doing things need to drive out demons. If you encounter an evil force when doing something, that evil force is quite evil, often throwing a little face, with a heart like a peanut, and a head like a walnut, all need to drive out demons. Your heart is wrapped by the demon and it cannot expand, so expansion starts from driving out demons!

When we prayed across the year, we said we wanted to expand us, we wanted to obtain those unobtained promised lands again, and continue to obtain them. It's all demons! Drive out the demons! Take back the promised land. This is the most basic training of disciples, the exercise of faith, start using faith to deal with it. You need to know that God is eager to help you, God is eager to give this authority into your hands, stuff it into your hands.

God takes the imperial seal and gives it to you, Take it, take it. I don't want it. Take it. Oh God, I can't do it. Why can't you do it? You can! See, God is still stuffing it into your hand, and you are still humbly saying no. What's the use of this kind of humility? This kind of humility is useless. Start wanting it, God, I want it! Don't be like those traditional theological systems teach, they exaggerate driving out demons into a very big deal.

I once said in a church that the pastor said, Oh, be careful, you have openings in your life, you cannot do healing and deliverance. I thought this was not in accordance with the Bible. Those twelve disciples were so rotten, with openings all over them like sieve holes, but when they drove out demons, didn't the demons listen? It's okay, be bold and do it.

The most basic training of disciples is the training of faith. What to believe? Believe in God's Word. Believe that all authority in heaven and on earth and under the earth has been given to our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Lord Jesus Christ has given this authority to us, and we can shake the power of the devil on this earth, so that the captives can be set free and the oppressed can be liberated! To talk about the exercise of faith, there is a lot to talk about.

Once I met a person whose eyes were about to go blind. He was sitting next to me, and we were having breakfast together. He said, Do you know? My eyes are going to go blind. I asked him, What's wrong? He said it was a problem with the retina and nerves, and we couldn't figure out those terms. I said, Your eyes are going to go blind, that's right. He asked, How is that right? I said, I specialize in praying for this. The blind all see when they come to me. Every one I pray for gets better, all of them get better.

At that time, I found that his eyes lit up. I can tell you the truth, this was the first time I prayed for this kind of eye problem, but I was declaring in faith: The blind all see when they come to me! In fact, it was only five minutes, and after eating, he left. First one, healed!

Three months later, I saw him again. He said, Since you prayed for me, do you know what happened? My eyes got better. He went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said the disease was gone, healed! Oh my goodness, I was also very excited. God, you really mean it! God, I just gestured like this, declared with faith, and he got better.

I tell you the truth, but don't use this truth to ruin your faith in the future. Teacher, I have a tendon pulled in my leg. I said, Hey, I'm the best at this. Everyone I pray for gets better. Teacher, are you saying this in faith? Are you going to use the eye thing you talked about last time on me? Hey, let's not ask this question, what's the use of asking this question? Those who believe, signs and wonders follow. So good!

How do you exercise faith? Exercise it like this. I tell you I have exercised it many times. There are legs like wooden sticks, eyes that are going blind, lame legs, paralyzed waists, those are all faith. Sometimes when faith is dying, I light it up again.

Today, brothers and sisters, don't treat Jesus Christ, this treasure, as garbage. Use Jesus Christ, this treasure, to the fullest! The Lord Jesus does not charge you a copyright fee. The name of Jesus Christ will manifest His glory in heaven and on earth! The name of Jesus Christ will receive glory! Amen! Because of our faith, God's heart is far beyond our imagination.

Driving Out Demons Is a Lifelong Work

Why are our people filthy? I tell you, it's demons. Why does the Old Testament say that corpses are filthy? There are spirits of death all around corpses, all filthy and unclean spirits. Some people say that corpses are very heavy. People are as thin as a bone, but they are as heavy as death. Why? There are so many demons. My mother was full of energy. She could carry a hundred kilograms of stuff and walk away. When my grandfather died, my mother said that the corpse was dead and heavy. Later, after we believed in the Lord, we understood: it turned out to be the spirit of death.

A person's lifelong work is the work of being cleansed and sanctified. Many people don't know how to do the work of sanctification. Today I tell you, drive out demons! A person's thoughts and intentions are all places where the spiritual powers of darkness work. We change our thoughts and intentions, and you will find it difficult. Why? Because there is spiritual bondage behind those thoughts and intentions, and spiritual bondage makes us filthy. It releases intentions and then works on us, so we have to drive out demons all our lives!

In the beginning, the headaches and fevers you drive out are all small demons. When you drive out middle-level demons, you begin to enter the battlefield of thoughts and intentions. When you drive out the biggest demons, the most high-end demons, it is the demon who tempted Jesus Christ, just a few words, very simple words. So the things of unbelief inside us, as long as there is unbelief, it is the space of demons. The place occupied by demons is unbelief.

A person's hardness of heart is a demon. A person's unbelief is a demon. Filthy. So driving out demons is a lifelong work! We must be sanctified all our lives. We must become holy all our lives. Which place turns to Jesus Christ, which place the Kingdom of God comes, which place belongs to holiness. So when you offer yourself completely to God, you become holy. Which place you offer to the demons, that place is filthy. That's it.

Why do people get sick so often? Because their thoughts and intentions are filthy. It is really difficult to separate people from demons. So I think today, the path to be like Jesus is too long. We must take a thousand-mile journey starting with a single step, step by step forward, more and more like the Lord Jesus, more and more like the Lord's glorious image, that glorious image and shining appearance when God created us.

Summary

Driving out demons is the most important thing. Driving out demons is the coming of the Kingdom of God. Driving out demons is an important part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Driving out demons is the basic training of disciples. Driving out demons is a lifelong work.

May God bless everyone! Amen!
