World Changers

Mark 3:14–15 TPT

14 He appointed the Twelve, whom he named apostles. He wanted them to be continually at his side as his friends, and so that he could send them out to preach 15 and have authority to heal the sick and to cast out demons.

Mark 6:7 TPT

7 Jesus gathered his twelve disciples and imparted to them his authority to cast out demons. Then he sent them out in pairs with these instructions:

Mark 16:17 KJV

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Luke 9:1–2 KJV

1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

Luke 10:17–20 KJV

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

#1 Believers are given authority to cast out demons & heal the sick

Mark 3:23–27 TPT

23 Jesus called them to himself and spoke to them using parables. “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 No kingdom can endure if it is divided against itself, 25 and a splintered household will not be able to stand, for it is divided. 26 And if Satan fights against himself he will not endure, and his end has come.” 27 Jesus said to them, “Listen. No one is able to break into a mighty man’s house and steal his property unless he first overpowers the mighty man and ties him up. Then his entire house can be plundered and his possessions taken.

So why doesn’t the Church Focus more on this than, cars, homes, husbands, haters & alligators

Casting out devils & demons require a life style of consecration

Mark 9:17–29 TPT

17 A man spoke up out of the crowd. “Teacher,” he said, “I have a son possessed by a demon that makes him mute. I brought him here to you, Jesus. 18 Whenever the demon takes control of him, it knocks him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and his body becomes stiff as a board. I brought him to your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they were not strong enough.” 19 Jesus said to the crowd, “Why are you such a faithless people? How much longer must I remain with you and put up with your unbelief? Now, bring the boy to me.” 20 So they brought him to Jesus. As soon as the demon saw him, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus turned to the father and asked, “How long has your son been tormented like this?” “Since childhood,” he replied. 22 “It tries over and over to kill him by throwing him into fire or water. But please, if you’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!” 23 Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.” 24 When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!” 25 Now when Jesus saw that the crowd was quickly growing larger, he commanded the demon, saying, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!” 26 The demon shrieked and threw the boy into terrible seizures and finally came out of him! As the boy lay there, looking like a corpse, everyone thought he was dead. 27 But Jesus stooped down, gently took his hand, and raised him up to his feet, and he stood there completely set free! 28 Afterwards, when Jesus arrived at the house, his disciples asked him in private, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?” 29 He answered them, “This type of powerful spirit can only be cast out by fasting and prayer.”

Casting out devils & demons require a life style faith & belief and the spirit of humility.

Luke 10:20 M:BCL

20 All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God’s authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you—that’s the agenda for rejoicing.”

Luke 10:20 KJV

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Last Reason, you ready?

Mark 3:23 KJV

23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

If a devil is on You, you can’t cast a devil out of someone else.

IT’s time to evict the strong man!!!

Mark 3:27 KJV

27 No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

Preach Black Man!!

One of the primary emphases in Marks gospel is Jesus’ overriding concern to defeat satan and his demonic powers; 3.27 this is phrased as ‘binding the strongman’ and spoiling his house (ie. setting at liberty those who are enslaved to satan) This power over satan is especially evident in the casting out of demons or evil spirits.

(2) Jesus promised true believers authority over the poser of Satan and his cohorts. As we confront them, we must break the power they want to excert over us and others by waging intense warfare through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this way we can be set free from the powers of darkness.

According to the parable in Mark 3.27, spiritual conflict against satan involves three aspects:

(a) Declaring war against satan according to the purpose of God

Luke 4:18 KJV

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

(b) entering satan’s house (any place where he has a strong hold), attacking and overpowering him by prayer and proclamation of the Word, and destroying his weapons of demonic deception and temptation

Luke 11:20–22 KJV

20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

(c.) carrying off his possessions, i.e., delivering those who have been held captive by satan’s power and given them over to God so that they may receive forgiveness and sanctification by faith In Christ

Luke 11:22 KJV

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

Acts 26:18 KJV

18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

I got More but i don’t want to feed a full table anybody hungry for truth open up your mouth and bless God. Closed mouths don’t get feed

The Following are the individual steps we must use in this Process

(a) Recognize that we are not in a conflict against flesh & blood but against spiritual forces and evil powers ( Eph 6.12)

(b) Live a Life before God, fervently committed to his truth and righteousness (Rom 12:1-2 & Eph 6.14)

(C) Have faith that satan’s power can be broken in any specific area of his domain and realize the believer has powerful spiritual weapons which God has given for the destruction of satan’s strongholds.

(d) Proclaim the Gospel of the King of the fullness of the Holy Spirit

(e) Challenge satan and his power directly by believing in Jesus name, using the Word of God, by Praying in the Spirit, by fasting & by casting our demons..
